KBS America posted this week's schedules on Monday afternoon and ours indicates Jingbirok beginning this weekend. Saturday and Sunday evenings at 11:40, the same lousy time slot as Jeong Dojeon. It also shows the rerun of the first episode airing Sunday morning at 7:40...so at this point I guess we presume that the rerun time for all of the episodes will be 7:40. Considering the good ratings that JD got, you'd think they would treat this series with enough respect to give it at least one decent time slot. But no.
TV Guide's website has the same information on the evening airings (thanks to ronin for finding it) so I think we can confidently say that we'll be getting started Saturday night.

Its probably because you are getting a West Coast feed AKJ , Like if its being broadcast at 7:40 pm in LA or SF than its 11:40 pm your time .

The feed that we were getting here in Chicago on 24.7 was a San Francisco station. Just recently the SF station disappeared from the KBS America schedule page; not sure if that's still our feed (I've been busy and haven't watched 24.7 enough in the last few weeks to know) but it looks like all of the broadcast outlets in the US are on the same schedule. So the start time on the West Coast is 9:40 p.m., and yeah that's not too bad...but on the East Coast it's 12:40 a.m.--they have it worse than Chicago does. And the morning repeats, on the West Coast they're starting at 5:40 a.m.!
This is not the way to treat historical dramas. The good ones are the best things on KBS and present the culture and history so beautifully, it's ridiculous to be burying at times when people who aren't hardcore will never find them. I think most of the non-Koreans who have come to this forum did so because they stumbled upon something that caught their attention and they got drawn in. Not gonna happen when the shows are in horrible time slots. Ugh.

Rats! tonight, Saturday Night (3/14) our local KBS station at the 9:35PM time slot, showed a short filler called "above Korea" (aerial footage shot over scenic areas), then at 940, began airing "ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY" Yikes!

Wow, you might be totally out of luck, simisteve. Looking at the schedule page for the L.A. station it shows less than four hours a day of Korean programming. And no BOC. Yeah, good move, KBS...not like there are any Koreans in the Los Angeles area. Sheesh...unbelievable.

OMG, last nite I was checking the channels, and they were showing episode 3 last (Sunday) night! It was almost over. They then immediately aired ep. 4! It was too late to watch, so I taped it and will try to get caught up this week. So it seems LA is showing them back to back starting Saturday night!!!!
Now I gotta read the ep 1-3 summaries to figure out what the heck is going on. All I can tell is there is some sort of east coast/west coast rivalry going on, Ala Notorious BIG vs. Tupac. ;-)

That totally cracked me up. Anyway, glad to hear you found the series.
BTW there's a good link in the links thread that explains the whole Easterners/Westerners thing. I had always assumed it was a regional thing but that has nothing to do with it.
