The show has been starting at 1 pm for a very long time. It occasionally is a delayed feed. The Parsifal started at noon (30 min delay) so we could be done by 6 pm. I think it makes it easier to coordinate the time zones across the country. Nothing new.
I'm gutted the death of John del Carlo. JDC was such a great artist and mensch. Best Kothner ever! bit.ly/2eYGEcj
