I'm guessing most people in this group assume I'm referring Drupal's themes and blocks when I reference "Primary Theme Block". That confusion is a problem I'm trying to avoid. I thought I was going solve this by changing Primary Theme Block to Timeslots, but now I need to group Timeslots into a generic "themed" grouping. None of the options we've come up with have been clear to both developers and producers.
Currently, DOM's them blocks are...
Academic/Informational
African American
Arts and Entertainment
Faith Based
General Youth
GLBT
International Issues
Latino
Mile High Perspective
Music
News, Business and Government
PSAs, Promos and Shorts
Well-Being & Lifestyle
Does anyone have a suggestion for what to call those that doesn't already mean something in Drupal? What do you call blocks of similarly themed content at your location?

ThemeSlots? Dayparts?
We could make up a term like "themeslot" or "Slot-Themes"
Or use other descriptive terms like "Topical Category" or "Theme Envelope" or "TimeSlots". YouTube just calls it "Category"
The industry refers to these as "dayparts"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daypart
... though Daypart doesn't usually indicate any shared theme, which is central to our model.
SO maybe "Daypart Categories" or "thematic daypart"?
My vote is the latter.
