Toonami: Daylight Savings

Since moving to Saturday nights (Sunday mornings) on Adult Swim in 2012, Toonami now airs on every day that Daylight Saving Time either begins or ends.

Since the initial “Ending” of Daylight Saving Time broadcast on November 12, 2012, Toonami has started the tradition of filling the extra hour with special programming that is not usually on the block, like Inuyasha and King Star King.

During every “Beginning” of Daylight Saving Time broadcast, Toonami is shortened by an hour causing the 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM hour to be skipped.

How Daylight Saving Time Works
When Daylight Saving Time begins (in Spring), the clocks jump forward an hour from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, leaving the day with only 23 hours. When Daylight Saving Time ends (in Fall), the clocks jump back an hour from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM, repeating the 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM hour, giving the day an extra hour (25 hours).
