What I've heard about that is that they will do a nightly "live" update for the Pacific Time Zone.
I'm not sure how ABC works, but NBC will "update" the "Pac Feed" if there is a breaking news story or a significant change.
As it is now, there are two feeds, one at 6:30 PM EST and one at 7:00 PM. The second is a recorded re-feed of the first (unless there is an update as mentioned above.
The Central, Mountain and Pacific stations can take either live or delay them. Most delay.
Anyway, the news can be reasonably "stale" by the time the Pac stations air it. That's even true sometimes with the Mountain stations, but since there are more viewers in the Los Angeles TV market than the entire Mountain Time Zone, there's no surprize that they aren't talking about a live Mountain Feed.
I imagine when ABC does it, the others will follow.
BTW, I'm talking about the evening newscast. The AM shows can be even more bizarre in terms of delay patterns, etc.
