primetime television

A new film titled 'Primetime' portrays television host Chris Hansen, known for confronting suspected predators on camera, in the style of a horror-movie villain. A reporter who covers sex crimes reviewed the film, arguing that its depiction reframes the familiar sting-show format as something sinister. Reaction is focusing on how the movie reinterprets a well-known figure from American crime television and what that says about the ethics of predator-sting programming.

Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series has been flexed to a primetime slot, MLB announced. The decisive game, which was originally set for an afternoon start, will now be played in the evening window to reach a larger national television audience. The change affects fans' travel plans and kickoff times for what could be a win-or-go-home matchup in the postseason opener round.
