Listen: Cabin Radio calls Apple about daylight savings

The NWT’s premier says one of the big obstacles to ditching daylight savings is getting the tech giants to make the change.

This week, RJ Simpson said the Yukon’s experience several years ago showed the process was “more labour-intensive and much more complicated task than people might expect.”

“There is not one entity that you go to and say, ‘I want to get off daylight savings time, I want to stick with a permanent time.’ We have to reach out to Microsoft, Apple, Google, a number of these different companies,” he said.

So we called Apple’s customer service team.

Now, when we told general manager Andrew Goodwin to call Apple, we didn’t ask him to invent a protest group named One Fall Backward, Two Springs Forward.

But he did. And it went from there. Listen to the call.
