Remember when you could tell what time of day it was by what was on TV, or at least on the VHF channels?
In the United States, because of shortages of space on the radio dial, and the fact that AM radio could travel hundreds of miles, some radio stations were restricted to daytime only or having other restrictions to allow older stations to continue to cover larger areas.
Line 59:
* 12:30 PM - 3 PM: [[Soap Opera|Soap operas]] (from the network) or [[Reality Show|reality shows]] (syndicated or local), or more daytime talk shows as the networks cancel more soaps, of which there will only be four remaining as of the start of January 2012.
* 3 PM - 5 PM: Syndicated game shows and talk shows.<ref>This was still 6 PM during the [[Turn of the Millennium]] and is still the case for some stations, but these are becoming the exception in [[The New Tens]] rather than the rule.</ref>
* 5 PM - 6:30 PM: Local news. The early hour is usually devoted to consumer topics and health news.
* 6:30 PM - 7PM: National news (from the network). (5:30 to 6 p.m. Central).
* 7 PM - 8 PM: Syndicated or local programming (6:30 to 7 p.m. Central due to prime time beginning an hour earlier). (Also, some stations may air a summary newscast at 7 PM for late-travelling commuters.)
