[quote="adam1516"]hi guys,
this time zone stuff seems to be confusing a hell of a lot of people. it's not rocket science!
GMT is 8 hours in front of ET .
So, 2pm ET = 10pm GMT

Yes I agree it seems confusing. In fact ET = Eastern Time that is 5 hours in front of GMT. So 2pm ET = 7pm GMT. It is the new York timezone.
PT = Pacific Time, which is the Los Angeles timezone, and it is 8 hours ahead of GMT. So 2pm ET = 11am PT = 7pm GMT.
So, unless the announcement is wrong and they mean PT instead of ET, in Europe it will be at 7pm GMT and 8pm in CET (italy, France, etc).
It works even on the link you provided:
14:00:00 Monday February 12, 2007 in America/New_York converts to
19:00:00 Monday February 12, 2007 in GMT
