In the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia, talk show programming in this vein is a significant part of this time slot, and shows that have coverage in most of these regions include The Oprah Winfrey Show, The View, The Jeremy Kyle Show, This Morning and Dr. Phil. Also a popular audience in this time frame is the college student; game shows such as the original Jeopardy! (1964–75) and, since the 1990s, The Price Is Right have targeted this audience. Soap operas such as General Hospital and The Young and the Restless continue to be popular in the U.S. and Canada.
Meanwhile news networks such as CNN, Fox News Channel, CTV Newsnet, CBC News Network, and Sky News usually program rolling news coverage where a set schedule of stories is followed, but is broken at any time for breaking news, while business networks such as CNBC, Fox Business Network and Bloomberg Television explicitly program to draw in viewers who might only watch for minutes at a time in settings such as health clubs, bars, restaurants, banks, and other financial institutions and the floors of stock exchanges, and closed captioning is usually turned on in these settings. In other public settings such as a university or airport, specific programming targeting a certain institution, such as the CNN Airport Network and MTVU is aired with rolling programming on public television sets designed to get attention for only a short period of time.
Children's television networks usually use the 9 a.m –3 p.m. timeslot before children of school age return home to air preschool programming for young viewers, while PBS member stations might either carry exclusively children's programming, or instructional programming to be taped for later use, programs which can be watched as part of acquiring college credit, or for viewers to eventually acquire their General Equivalency Diploma.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“He that wants money, means, and content is without three
good friends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Let us have a fair field! This is all we ask, and we will be content with nothing less. The finger of evolution, which touches everything, is laid tenderly upon women. They have on their side all the elements of progress, and its spirit stirs within them. They are fighting, not for themselves alone, but for the future of humanity. Let them have a fair field!”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“I have sometimes seen women, who would have been sensible enough, if they would have been content not to be called women of sense—but by aiming at what they had not, they only proved absurd—for sense cannot be counterfeited.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
