Its because Columbus, Ga is a media market so many of the local communities around there just stay on eastern time because Columbus is on eastern time.

This is also why parts of Eastern Oregon are on Mountain time...because its on the border of Idaho and picks up Boise radio/tv stations.

Western Kansas along I-70 follow mountain time because many of its radio stations come from Denver.
