The smallest time increment the current time zones show is 15 minutes.

That would be outside the usual reception area: Nepal, Australia, New Zealand...

Doesn't seem likely that they would choose such an unusual step as to
select a quarter-hour difference. But if they chose anything that wasn't
same-day, same-difference then they would need to manually adjust at
least some of the time. Building their own time signal would take years
to be adopted by manufacturers of clocks.
