time check

Asking the hour

A time check is a moment when someone states or confirms the current time, often in broadcasting or group settings: Let's do a time check—we've got fifteen minutes left.

Radio hosts give time checks to orient listeners.

The phrase also describes synchronizing watches or clocks: Everyone do a time check before we split up.
