Us Europeans are still going to be on winter time on Saturday. Not that a one-hour difference is likely to matter, that deep in the night.

The transition to summer time (or winter time south of the equator) will not be correct for all time zones this time of year. That is because the script generating the announcement uses only the Daylight Saving Time formula for America/New_York. That works well enough most of the year, just not during March/April and October/November.
