"Primetime" refers to the hours during the evening when television viewership is at its highest, typically between 8 PM and 11 PM. This time slot is crucial for networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS as they air their most popular shows and major events to attract a larger audience. Advertisers often pay a premium for commercial slots during this period due to the increased viewership. The concept of primetime varies by country and can also apply to radio and online streaming platforms. In addition to traditional television, streaming services like Netflix and Hulu have their own peak viewing times, influenced by user habits and content availability.
