Many early television networks (such as the BBC, NBC or CBC) evolved from earlier radio networks.

It follows prime time and precedes the overnight television programming graveyard slot.

The slot generally runs from about 11:30 PM to 2:00 AM local time, with variations according to the time zone.

Daytime television is a television genre which features television programming traditionally produced and scheduled to air between the hours of 9 a.m. (at the end of morning show-type programming) and 5 p.m. (when local news and the early fringe of primetime begins).
