I'm watching Roddick/Murray in the second set but they're actually playing the fourth. To top if off, the "simulcast" window says "Live" all over the place.

So NBC starts with the Roddick match, but it goes off the air at 1 p.m. in all time zones. But as soon as they're done in the East, ESPN comes back on and picks it up. So here in the Lost Time Zone (Mountain), the match is picked up live when ESPN comes back on at 1 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. EDT).

First off, I have to wake up at 4:00am to watch the coverage on ESPN, and I'm fine with that since there's nothing I can do about the time difference. But once ESPNs coverage is over, we on the West Coast don't get to watch the continuing coverage on NBC.
