THE MOUNTAIN TIME ZONE The Mountain Time Zone of North America keeps time by subtracting seven hours from Greenwich Mean Time, during the shortest days of autumn and winter (UTC−07), and by subtracting six hours during daylight saving time in the spring, summer, and early autumn (UTC−06). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time at the 105th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. In the U.S., the exact specification for the location of time zones and the dividing lines between zones is set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 49 CFR 71 The largest city in the Mountain Time Zone is Phoenix, Arizona, and its metropolitan area is the largest in the zone. The largest city that observes Mountain Daylight Time is Calgary, Alberta. TV broadcasting in the Mountain Time Zone is typically tape-delayed one hour, so that shows match the broadcast times of the Central Time Zone (i.e. prime time begins at 7:00 pm MT following the same order of programming as the Central time zone) BrainFreeze #IndigoLeagueElites
