The programming is for the Eastern US, and Eastern time is 1 hour ahead of Central time. So, when the network airs a program at 9:00 Eastern time, it will be 8:00 Central time. They do this because it's easier to just air the program once rather than have a separate area for Eastern and Central time zones. Pacific and Mountain typically air the program at a different time because prime-time programs aired for convenient viewing in the East would be too early for the west coast.

It's a reference to the time at which the show is on. If it's on at 9 Eastern time it will be showing at 8 Central time, because of the difference in time zones.

9 in the East and Pacific Time Zones and 8 in the Central (the Networks "feed" the East and Central at the same time and delay the West Coast by 3 hrs from NY).

It means that the show is on at 9:00 PM Eastern time. At that same time, it is only 8:00 PM in the Central tiime zone.

It means that a show will be on at 9 on the east coast and 8 for the next time zone over, since we generally have our shows on at the same time.
