[BC] Repetitively Redundant

[Byrne, John H (COE Engineering)]

I believe that the concept of CNYT, when originally implemented, had
more to do with standard time versus daylight savings time.  Even today,
not all states honor the so-called standard transition into and out of
daylight savings time, and many years ago, there was less of a
"standard" for this transition.  To avoid any confusion, the cues and
timings for the CBS Television Network were referenced to the applicable
time in New York City.

CBS still uses the abbreviation "CNYT" (Current New York Time) on timing

wires. I guess that's a good thing, since when I'm entering times into 
our automation, I don't want to know Yesterday's New York Time...
