Editing Broadcast programming (section)

==History==
With the beginning of scheduled television in 1936, television programming was initially only concerned with filling a few hours each evening – the hours now known as [[prime time]]. Over time, though, television began to be seen during the daytime and late at night, as well on the weekends. As air time increased, so did the demand for new material. With the exception of [[sports television]], variety shows became much more important in prime time.
