Network broadcasts outside of prime time

At one time, networks in the USA were airing programs in the late afternoon, a time slot that is now exclusively used by local stations. For example, the Mickey Mouse Club aired from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. weekdays. GBC 22:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Usability sign/warning

The link referred to as 'History of TV Prime Time' points to some kind of javascript spreadsheet in frames generated by Excel or some such nonsense. Shouldn't this be flagged so that people not wanting/able to view such things can be warned not to bother to click on what looks like a plain html link? Or maybe have the link deleted altogether to encourage people to be a little more web-friendly? 68.221.125.196 19:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Time UK Band

I removed this section from the article. Either the band is not notable, or it deserves its own article. I think it's the former.

“

Also well known UK funk band first album released Jan 2005 called Decade on the PT records label. Prime Time formed by Stuart Warren and Ian Roworth of UK rock band i2i in early 1990s [1]joined by Karl Groom (lead guitarist Threshold)and later with Karls wife Tina on lead vocals. Appeared at Guildfest 05 along side Pouges and Status Quo.

International?

The article could do with some lessening of its US-centricity (lazy assumption that non-US = "international"). There also appears to be some duplication re the Phillipines. -- Picapica (talk) 21:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

The section titled as Definition does not contain a definition. Change the title to reflect the section content or change the section's content. Johan Lont (talk) 10:34, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asia

First, I added a sub-section for Israel. Second, I would suggest sorting by country name, as done under Europe. Agreed? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 15:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

60 Minutes

The part it says that 60 Minutes is shortened to 1 segmant if NFL Football runs past 7:50 is incorrect, in October 2009 when a Bills-Jets game ran past 7:50 (and even past 8:00) 60 Minutes was shown in full and Cold Case was taken off the schedule for the night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlt152 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Time

Somebody needs to take a look at the section on Indonesia. It looks as though someone is using it to advertise certain programmes. The other countries have no such schedule listings, and (in my opinion) SHOULD not!

I know EVERYTHING about prime time and urgent care. Around 8-9pm, sometimes a little later, sometimes a little earlier. That's when the best shows and movies come on. All the stars are watching at that time, too. 24.211.179.19 (talk) 10:06, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Too American

Phrases right in the introduction like "The term prime time is often defined in terms of a fixed time period—for example, from 19:00 to 22:00 (Central and Mountain Time) or 20:00 to 23:00 (Eastern and Pacific Time) (7 p.m. to 10 p.m. or 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.)." are far too American for Wikipedia. The rest of the world have no fucking idea what Mountain time and Eastern time are and we don't understand why there would be different times. I mean, why don't TV channels in the east show their programmes at different times which correspond to 19.00 to 22.00 in the central regions? At least the article uses the 24 hour clock which makes it slightly accessible internationally! This article should represent a WORLD VIEW. If articles can't be wirtten so that they don't just describe things in the USA then they should be deleted.--122.26.238.63 (talk) 14:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly talking about things like "Nielsen ratings" is far too-US centric. The rest of the world don't use such messed up systems nor rely on ratings and commercials so much. What about countries where the bulk of TV viewing comes from public and commercial-free TV?--122.26.238.63 (talk) 14:14, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How about in Poland?

In Poland, prime time usually starts at 20:00. On Channel 1 starts at 20:30 preceding main issue of news at 19:30. --31.63.27.161 (talk) 15:48, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
