Talk:Dayparting

Opening heading
Perhaps merge this with Schedule (broadcasting) or Network programming (television). And merge these together as well.

"Dayparting" can also be used in telecoms, where it refers to a non-geographic phone number which is diverted to different destinations according to the time of day.

Thus you could have your local staff answering calls during office hours, but route to a remote call centre for out-of-hours support. Spudley (talk) 10:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Requested Move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

No consensus to move. The fact that the article is not referenced does not help with actual usage here. The fact that this is used in other industries may in fact argue for a rename to a dabbed form or merge into another article as mentioned elsewhere on the talk page.

Dayparting → Daypart — Unnecessary gerund form seems to stray slightly from Wikipedia's naming conventions. Gerunds are allowed, but simple, singular count nouns seem preferred. 72.244.207.30 (talk) 20:19, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

On-line advertising
"Dayparting" is used in on-line advertising as well as TV and Radio, although the "prime time" and other traditional TV daypart names may not apply. Should this be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by YeOldeGnurd (talk • contribs) 16:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

A bit outdated.
Some examples of networks/channel, such as Cartoon Network, no longer offer late night television - therefore the examples are outdated. I don't know if it's more appropriate to just change tenses or remove/update examples. For example, you just change a sentence to "Cartoon Network used to offer" from "Cartoon Network offers", or you could just remove the example altogether. But I'd imagine you'd have to remove a few examples, so maybe finding more/rewriting the paragraph would be easier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.49.116 (talk) 06:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
