This article is incredibly US-centric! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.163.140 ( talk) 12:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
I do not believe this is the case any longer, but somebody finding some citable sources for the era when DVRs (I know TiVo did this) used Graveyard hours to transmit keyed video to the units for things like ads and other video content would add a fairly novel use of these hours. 74.240.193.18 ( talk) 06:03, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Notable or not, this topic is solely US-centric. Well... the introduction explains it, but the fact that the topic is US-centric makes the article vulnerable to unreferenced examples and original research. Remove all examples, and you get a short entry about the topic. I don't think UK has problems with Friday TV scheduling as much as US. The US Friday programming may be adequately explained in "graveyard slot" article. George Ho ( talk) 23:30, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Never mind; I am rescinding this proposal. -- George Ho ( talk) 20:12, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
I hear there's an editing conflict in regards to The CW, MyNetworkTV, and defunct networks UPN and The WB in the 7 p.m. Sunday slot. Would it be better to list all of them but MyNetworkTV like this?
For example:

The article claims that weekdays from 4 to 5 pm became a death slot in the 1980s, with the major networks ceasing to program the time period. But if the time slot was so bad, how did Oprah Winfrey become a billionaire hosting a talk show which aired in many markets at 4 pm? The problem with the 4-5 pm timeslot was not that people weren't watching television, but that local stations found that they could make more money by airing syndicated talk shows and other syndicated programs during that time slot, rather than what the networks were offering (when the networks still offered programs for 4 pm). There are no citations in the paragraph about this time slot, so I think better sourcing is needed as to whether this time slot should be covered in this article at all. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
