Have you considered why they didn't start on time?

I don't know, but my guess is that it was delays in getting a full, VIP-laden house seated. Something over which the show and the house have only a moderate amount of control. If the show had started with one of the stars' mothers still out in the lobby waiting to be seated, we'd be reading about the cold-hearted marketing people sticking to their artificial schedule at the expense of the cast and the audience.

They probably allowed for a 15-minute delay, and when they determined they weren't going to be able to get on the screen before the permitted time had run out, they went to plan B.

Clear Channel presumably preferred to honor the terms of the permit rather than jeopardize their relationship with the precinct, whose cooperation is necessary for the future operation of their big expensive gadget. When rolling out a new toy, it's best not to demonstrate on the first time out that you don't care about the limits imposed by the local authorities.
