ABC pre-empted most of its daytime schedule to cover the Olympics from Los Angeles, but it ran AMC, OLTL, and GH, for 40 minutes each to cover a two-hour time period for two weeks; for the week of July 30th, the trio aired at 2pm ET, 1pm CT, 12pm MT (MDT), 11am Arizona (MST), and 11am PT, and for the week of August 6th, the trio aired at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT (MDT), 10am Arizona (MST), and 10am PT.
The other ABC daytime shows were pre-empted, and the 11 ET, 10 CT/PT slot had no regular show (Olympic games were seen there) until two weeks later.
It was also the first time ABC aired a daytime show simultaneously on all time zones since "Break the Bank" aired at 2:30 ET, 1:30 CT, 11:30 PT in 1976.
