Related background:

There are three important reasons for the division of broadcast seasons: on the one hand, since autumn, the weather has turned cold and the nights have become longer, and people have reduced outdoor activities and increased TV watching time; On the other hand, since September, American students have returned to school and resumed their regular lives, and the operating rate and audience size have been greatly improved.

Nielsen data shows that the number of American TV viewers has increased by more than 10% in autumn compared with summer. This large proportion of viewing increment makes the broadcast season spanning nearly 7 months become the top priority of the annual TV broadcast of American wireless TV networks.

Therefore, under the joint action of internal and external factors, September has become the "New Year" of American public television networks, which is the golden season for their screening. May to August is the so-called "low season" period.
