'''Strip programming''' or '''stripping''' is a technique used for [[scheduling]] [[broadcast television|television]] and [[radio broadcasting|radio]] [[broadcast programming|programming]] to ensure consistency and coherency. [[Television program|Television]] or [[radio program]]s of a particular style (such as a [[television series]]) are given a regular time slot during the week, so that it appears as a strip straight across the weekly schedule. For example, radio and television [[broadcasting|broadcasters]] may program a [[broadcast news|news]] program at [[rush hour]]s every day, or at least every weekday.

Strip programming is used to deliver consistent content to targeted audiences. Broadcasters know or predict the times at which certain [[demographics]] will be listening to or watching their programs and play them at that time.
