prime time
(From TV programming) Normal high-usage hours on a
{time-sharing} system; the day shift. Avoidance of prime time
was traditionally given as a major reason for {night mode}
hacking. The rise of the personal workstation has rendered
this term, along with {time-sharing} itself, almost obsolete.
The hackish tendency to late-night {hacking run}s has changed
not a bit.
