Actually a lot of the world ends/starts Daylight Savings Time at the same time as the USA. It's us in Britain that are "out of kilter", so to speak.
So the rest of the world has to play to America's tune.

If by Britain you mean most of Europe... (And all EU member states I think)

Indeed. The dates are set by the EU for all member states (and are observed by many non-members as well).

Actually, the US decided to extend DST starting 2007, spring forward earlier and fall back later because it would save energy (a claim that was absurd from the start and the data seems to show it truly was absurd). The consequence of that change led other countries north and south of the US to follow suit for business purposes. Before 2007, the US used to change clocks on the same days as European countries.

It's fairly recent, until the early 90s, most of Europe ended DST on the last Sunday in September, this meant for most of October the UK was on the same time as the European mainland. The EU decided to follow us, and move to the end of October. (So if anyone tries to tell you, we always have to follow what Brussels dictates......

Based on Wikipedia's page on DST by country, 59 countries change their clocks on the last Sunday of October. 7 change their clocks on the first Sunday of November, 5 of which are small islands.

Plus some states don't even do the DST switch, with some contemplating to get rid of them.

Victoria Fritz said that at least initially it will solely be on BBC World News bur that it might be picked up by BBC News Channel at a later date. A two hour break though from UK news might be too much - if it was able to replace one of the existing programmes in that block that would work.
Do you think the NC will start simulcasting the new Buisness Live bulletin to give two hours of simulcasting?
