About Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the heart of the American film and television industry, with Hollywood, the major studios and a huge music and gaming scene. Its port, together with neighbouring Long Beach, handles a large share of trans-Pacific trade, so suppliers in Asia and producers in Europe often need to know what time it is here.
The city runs on Pacific Time: PST at UTC-8 in winter and PDT at UTC-7 when clocks go forward for summer. That puts Los Angeles three hours behind New York, so a 9am start on the West Coast is already lunchtime on the East Coast. San Francisco and Seattle share the same clock, as does Vancouver in summer.
