Latin America
In a great part of Latin American countries, prime time is considered to be from 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 or 11:00 p.m.. The time slot is usually used for news, telenovelas and TV series, and special time slots are used for reality shows, with great popularity, especially in Mexico and Brazil. In Brazil, it's called horário nobre (“noble time”), which is the time the 3 most famous telenovelas in the country are shown each weekday and on Saturdays. Also, there are news, reality shows, and two sitcoms. In Argentina, prime time is considered to be from 10.00 p.m. until 02.00 a.m.; with the most successful series and telenovelas in the country (WAGs: Love for the Game, Valientes, etc.), and entertainment shows, like CQC.

Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or america:
“It is worth the expense of youthful days and costly hours, if you learn only some words of an ancient language, which are raised out of the trivialness of the street, to be perpetual suggestions and provocations. It is not in vain that the farmer remembers and repeats the few Latin words which he has heard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
