Sleepless Spaniards slam “late” prime-time TV

A Spanish group is urging the country’s television channels to move their prime-time shows forward so people can get extra winks at night.
Spain’s National Commission for the Rationalization of Spanish Working Hours (ARHOE) says the country’s prime-time television shows are running later and later.
“Television channels are failing to respect people’s schedules,” ARHOE argues.

The group have now set up a petition on change.org asking for all prime-time shows to end before 11pm.

This is “so that Spanish television viewers don’t have to reduce their hours of sleep, with all the negative consequences that brings”, according to the organization.
