Drive time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Drive-time)

Drive time is the daypart in which radio broadcasters can reach the most people who listen to car radios while driving, usually to and from work, or on public transportation.[1] Drive-time periods are when the number of radio listeners in this class is at its peak and, thus, commercial radio can generate the most revenue from advertising.[2] Drive time usually coincides with rush hour.[3][4]
