      Just curious. How is Andy able to recap the broadcast before it airs? Sorry if this obvious.

      • Andy Saunders | October 31, 2016 at 7:33 pm | Reply

        I am able to catch an earlier-than-7:00 PM broadcast as up here in Canada, our television providers are able to offer us timeshifting.

        Plus, even in the US, it isn’t always shown at 7pm. I watch on a Minneapolis station at 4:30 (Daytime J! airs at 3:30), other Midwest places do similar, probably because here in the Central time zone (as well as Mountain), prime time runs from 7-10 instead of 8-11 like it is on the coasts, so shows like J!, Wheel, Dr. Phil, the local news, all the stuff you might see at 7, we see from 4-6.
