Primetime

Primetime refers to the block of television programming that is scheduled during the evening hours when the largest number of viewers are watching. Typically occurring between 8 PM and 11 PM, this period is when networks air their most popular shows, aiming to attract a wide audience for maximum advertising revenue. Primetime programming often includes dramas, comedies, reality shows, and special events. The concept is important for advertisers, as a larger audience means higher rates for ad spots, making it a critical time for broadcasting networks.
