Why is daytime TV a notion but daytime radio is not?
@going_to_maine That's a great question! Ideas about the audience seem important. Maybe linked to:
- Radio's portability. Radio has no implied location. Daytime TV implies being at home in the day, invoking stereotypes about gender, age & economic status.
- Radio being seen as background, including to work. Watching daytime TV is taken to imply inactivity.
¿Hence daytime TV is seen as the province of marginalised groups, and stigmatized accordingly, including by broadcasters?
