Daylight Savings Time on KCBD

On Sunday morning, I watch Daybreak Today on KCBD, Channel 11 http://www.kcbd.com/ in Lubbock, Texas.  So, I watched it this morning, and was appalled that the weekend anchor, Annie Taylor, and the weekend forecaster, Cutter Martin kept referring to Daylight Savings Time starting.  Daylight Savings Time ended this morning.  The headline on the KCBD website is just this, that Daylight Savings Time is ending this morning.

So why did these two get it wrong?  Who knows.  They are young and their broadcast always seems to have a bit of immaturity in it. Why do I watch.   It is easy to watch, they do some local news, and it is on before Texas Country Reporter. 

But, I do not always take what they say seriously.  I did not this morning. Cutter said the sun rose earlier this morning.  That is so untrue. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=544&month=11&year=2013&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1  The sun actually rose a minute later than it did the day before.  But because of the time change, it apparently rose 59 minutes earlier.
