Isn't Alaska an hour or so behind us?

Alaska and Hawaii are both behind California and the rest of the West Coast on this side of the date line (and part of Alaska is on the other side so they are that state is technically the first and last to celebrate the New Year).

It was really kind of insulting to those areas in 2000 when all of the networks went into continuous coverage for the full 24 hours but then pretty much pooped out after the west coast.

Anchorage, as well as most other major Alaskan cities, is 1 hour behind, but, as Alex points out, Alaska is huge and extends all the way to the date line, so parts of it are further behind.
