Indonesia
Prime time usually takes place from 17:00 to 0:00 in Indonesian time zones, and sinetrons (soap operas) dominate majority of the programming schedules. Before 2018, daily evening newscasts would kick off primetime between 17:00 and 18:00, although some channels, notably SCTV, broadcast their daily evening newscasts earlier, usually at 16:00 or 16:30. The practice of airing news at primetime ended in 2018 in favor of adding more sinetrons to the schedule, except for TVRI, which have kept their newscasts, Klik Indonesia Petang (at 18:00) on primetime respectively. After prime time, programs classified as Adult, as well as Adult products (generally cigarettes) commercials, may be aired.
