primetime slot
Evening TV hours
A primetime slot is a scheduled broadcast position during peak evening viewing hours, typically between 8 and 11 PM.
Networks reserve these slots for their most popular or promising shows because audiences are largest then: The sitcom landed a coveted primetime slot on Thursday nights.
The term extends to any high-visibility scheduling opportunity: Her speech got the primetime slot at the convention.
