network times off?

I don't know if its me or the rest of the world but I am on the west coast and like watching the east coast channels so I can go to bed early. I start going to major networks at about 5 pacific time and the shows are listed and when i go there all i get is news for about an hour or so and then the shows start or magically already in progress is there something i'm doing wrong?? Am I looking at the guide wrong? maybe it's just a setting that is wrong any help would be appreciated.
