What is prime time?
Primetime is the prime time in classic television. It is the point in time when the ratings are particularly high. Primetime is therefore the most important period for broadcasters and advertisers. In Germany, programs that start at 8:15 pm are considered prime time highlights, although media scientists also use the term for the entire evening program until 11pm.
Prime time in Germany – why 8.15 p.m.?
In Germany there is another reason why 8:15 p.m. has established itself as prime time. The reason for this is the Tagesschau, which has been on the air from 8:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. punctually since it was first broadcast almost 70 years ago. Many viewers now expect programs to start at 8.15 p.m. – even if they are not viewers of the Tagesschau.
Prime time on the radio
Primary broadcasting time is referred to as “drive time” on the radio and is between 6 am and 9 am and between 4 pm and 6 pm. At these times of the day, commuters who are on their way to work or home – traditionally in the car, hence the name – are reached in particular. In the so-called daytime, however, only a smaller part of the audience is reached.
