A few weeks ago, I thought I heard a fleeting news item on the radio to
the effect that Alaska was changing its time zone.  Rather than continue
to be split across three zones (Yukon, Alaska/Hawaii, and Bering) -- so
the story went -- all parts of Alaska would henceforth keep Yukon time
(GMT-9; GMT-8 in summer).

Is the above actually the case, or was I suffering from a sophisticated
aural hallucination?

If this is true, then I suppose the long-standing confusion between BST
(Bering Standard Time) and BST (British Summer Time) no longer exists.
I wonder whether the Alaska Legislature contains any mail hackers.
