Is it the same all year?

Yes. 6 PM CST is always 7 PM EST, because both change their clocks on the same dates.

Central Time switches between CST and CDT for daylight saving time; people often say CST all year. Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year.
