(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 runs has changed
not a bit.

(jargon) | prime time
n.
[from TV programming] Normal high-usage hours on a system or network. Back
in the days of big timesharing machines ‘prime time’ was when lots of
people were competing for limited cycles, usually the day shift. Avoidance
of prime time was traditionally given as a major reason for night mode
hacking. The term fell into disuse during the early PC era, but has been
revived to refer to times of day or evening at which the Internet tends to
be heavily loaded, making Web access slow. The hackish tendency to
late-night hacking runs has changed not a bit.

not ready for prime time
(foldoc) | not ready for prime time
Usable, but only just so; not very robust; for internal use
only. Said of a program or device. Often connotes that the
thing will be made more solid Real Soon Now. This term
comes from the ensemble name of the original cast of "Saturday
Night Live", the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players". It has
extra flavour for hackers because of the special (though now
semi-obsolescent) meaning of prime time. Compare beta.
