Talk:Prime time

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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.

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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! 
Thanks,

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
