Editing Prime time (section)

===Malaysia===
[[Malaysia]] prime time starts with the main news from 20:00 to 20:30 (now 20:00 to 21:00) and ends either at 23:00 or 1:00, or possibly later.  Usually, programmes during prime time are domestic dramas, foreign drama series (mostly American), films, and entertainment programmes.  Programmes classified as 18 are not allowed to be broadcast before 10:00&nbsp;p.m., but on [[Radio Televisyen Malaysia]], most programmes on this slot are rated U (U means ''Umum'' in Malay and literally General Viewing or General Audiences in English) throughout the whole day.  However, programmes broadcast after 23:00 are still considered prime time.  As of 2019, [[NTV7]]'s prime time continues until 12:00&nbsp;a.m.  Programmes during prime time may have longer commercial breaks due to the number of viewers.

Some domestic prime-time productions may be affected because of certain major sporting events such as [[FIFA World Cup]]. However, only FIFA World Cup held in the [[Americas]] do not affect the domestic prime-time programmes but only during daytime.{{clarify|date=January 2024}}
