I think you're probably right. The good programming (movies, etc) usually comes on around 9/10/11pm, so perhaps that is 'prime time', although I used to put that down to the idea that the Gulf is on the Eastern end of the satellite footprint, so what's 'late' here, is 'early' in Morocco, Tunisia etc.
Last time I was in Casablanca I found it really weird to be watching American Idol while the sun was still up...
I guess people in this region aren't as uniform in their behaviors as we are in the west, where 'everyone' works from 9am to 5pm, and 'everyone' watches family tv between 5pm and 9pm, and movies 'always' start at 8:30pm etc.
Some of that probably comes down to watersheds imposed by broadcasting classification bodies. That sort of thing doesn't exist here, and you can see murder, death and sex at all times of the day and night (oddly, given it's supposed to be a conservative region...).
