With the "new season" starting (the 21st Anniversary, with Tim Laird serving at the "Insomniac Lounge" was quite an experience last Friday),
it looks as though there are some scheduling differences.  "The Mix" has moved the block it was in, and *also* THE POLKA!  Given that polka-time
used to be at 2:56 A.M. ET, and now is at either 1:56 or 3:26 (I'm thinking the latter :-)), it appears that WNN is now produced live from
2 AM to 3:30 AM ET, half an hour later than before.  Does anyone have any information about this? (For instance, if any WNN block airs in your area *before*
2 AM ET, that would be evidence against my conclusion.)

Scheduling: World News Now returns to its
2-3:30am schedule after over two plus years, after Nightline moved to
12:35am/ET. I just saw the clock from one of the camera/prompter that
states 3:10am)

Thanks!  It's interesting that the Polka is now back to where it was at the beginning, if Polka 1.0 can be used as a reference:
"When they yell, 'IT'S HALF-PAST THREE!', tell them, 'Hey, it's news to me!'"
