It's afternoon between 12 noon and 6pm.
Evening is generally considered to last until 9pm and then it's night.
Overnight is midnight to 6am.
I constantly hear these designations abused on local radio and tv.


Midnight to 6am is morning, is it not? If not, when does morning begin? Hmmm.

Of course morning begins after midnight but it's called overnights on the shift schedule.
Morning shows used to begin at 6am but now it's 5 or 5:30am.
They also used to last until 9am but that's been stretched to 10am on most stations.
Longer hours, fewer people, good for the bottom line.

Oh, so now the story changes and you're referring to shifting.

Is there a lot of talk about shifting on local radio and TV? Anything specific you can back this up with?

I didn't think so.

I am tempted to agree with Lee on the subject of finite detail.

Once in awhile we should say "who cares" and go for a walk in the sun - that's what I am about to do :mousewalk chasing :cat2:
