The cable television provider in Calgary is Shaw Cable. Network programming from the United States is received on cable via affiliates from Spokane, Washington, which is in the Pacific Time Zone despite the fact that Calgary is in the Mountain Time Zone. This means American prime time shows on weekdays run from 9 pm to midnight. Also, except for PBS, HDTV network programming is from Seattle, Washington, not Spokane. On digital cable, U.S. network programming (in standard definition) is available from Detroit, Michigan in the Eastern Time Zone. Prime time shows on weekdays run from 6 to 9 pm. Via digital cable, Calgary customers can also receive broadcasts from other CTV and CBC markets across Canada.
