German term or phrase: auf den angestammten Nachmittagssendeplatz
Greetings,

I quote Wiki:
Wege zum Glück - Spuren im Sand ist eine deutsche Telenovela und die Neuauflage der fast gleichnamigen Telenovela Wege zum Glück von 2004 bis 2009. Sie wird seit dem 7. Mai 2012 montags bis freitags auf den angestammten Nachmittagssendeplatz des ZDFs um 16:15 Uhr ausgestrahlt.

When I ask about ‘auf den angestammten Nachmittagssendeplatz ’, it is, in part, a question about grammar: am I right in thinking that since ‘auf’ is followed by accusative it must refer to time? If I remember rightly, if it referred to place it would have to be dative.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

Steffen is right about the grammar. It hurts native speaker ears...
