Why does KETC occasionally broadcast programs at a different time (or on a different day) than the national PBS schedule or not broadcast them at all?
There are a number of reasons that KETC may choose to broadcast a program at a different time than what is published for the national PBS schedule. One of the most basic reasons is simply that PBS schedules are based on the Eastern time zone, whereas the KETC service area is on Central time. So some KETC programs air here in the St. Louis region one hour behind the PBS broadcast.
