Local sunset for WBZ is later than for other stations

There is some bizarre FCC rule that allows AM stations to keep IBOC (which
was originally supposed to be shut off at local sunset) on after local
sunset--but not all night. With the end of Daylight Saving Time and until
the end of October (today), Boston FCC sunset is 5:00 PM. IIRC, Boston FCC
sunset is at 4:30 PM in November. It's 5:18 now, and I still hear IBOC hash
from WBZ. Anybody know when it's supposed to go to sleep for the night?
