Not exactly. Prime time shows are *not* delayed for Central time. It's
just that 8pm Eastern and 7PM Central are exactly the same time.
Pacific shows are 'normally' delayed 2 hours. An 8PM Eastern show will
show at 8PM Pacific. Back when Mountain time did not observe daylight
savings time, the broadcasts were delayed 2 hours in Mountain time since
half the year they were on Pacific time. I don't know what they do now.

Not really. It would actually make the bus problem worse. It's really
the 'I want some time to go fishing or boating after work' problem.

Well, there are problems in China since they use Bejing time across

And I understand that in westen China some clocks are (unofficially) set back.
And there's ego. In 2015, DPRK set its clocks back 30 minutes, just to be
unique. Then reverted (witn inadequate advance notice) a few years after,
for commercial reasons.
And a few years earlier, Republic of Samoa advanced its clocks 24(!)
hours for commercial reasons.
But essentially, the U.S. Eastern, Central, and Mountain times are one
time zone as far as TVs are concerned.
Sort of. But not for live sports events.
The Today Show is delayed hour-by-hour to start at 0700 in every time zone.
(Don't know about Arizona.) They display local time in a chyron.
Prime time shows are announced as beginning at (e.g.) 8PM Eastern, 7PM
Central. But they're delayed one hour (not two!) so they begin at 7PM
Mountain. Don't know about Pacific.

We really need to get out of the '8-5' work times. While outside work
needs to be daylight centered, we could make our standard workday '6-3'
and a lot more people would be happy with the available daylight after work.
But there's the school bus problem.
