Is there any good show on television tonight? The correct answer is option (D) on.​

Correct answer and sentence

The complete, grammatically correct sentence is:

• Is there any good show on television tonight?​

In standard English, we talk about programs that are broadcast on TV, on the radio, or on the internet.​

Explanation of each option

Option (A) in

• Why it seems possible: The preposition in is used for being inside something (in a room, in a box) or for longer time periods (in January, in 2025).​

• Why it is wrong here: A TV show is not inside the television as a physical space; the sentence refers to what is being broadcast, not to a location inside an object, so “in television tonight” sounds unnatural and incorrect.​

Correct type of usage of in:

• She works in television. (meaning the TV industry, not the device)

Option (B) at

• Typical use of at: At is used for a specific point in time or place, such as at 7 pm, at the station, or at the door.​

• Why it is wrong here: “At television” does not describe watching a show or a broadcast medium; English does not use at with television in this context, so “Is there any good show at television tonight?” is ungrammatical.​

Correct type of usage of at:

• We will meet at the cinema.

Option (C) with

• Normal meaning of with: With shows association, company, or an instrument, as in with friends, with a pen, with my family.

• Why it is wrong here: The sentence is asking what is being shown via the medium of TV, not who or what you are accompanied by, so “show with television” does not fit as a natural English structure.​

Correct type of usage of with:

• He watched the movie with his brother.

Option (D) on – the correct answer

• Standard usage: English uses on for broadcast and digital media: on television, on TV, on the radio, on YouTube, on Netflix.​

• Why it is correct: A TV channel or platform is treated like a medium or platform that carries content, so shows are said to be on that medium, making “Is there any good show on television tonight?” the only natural, idiomatic choice.​

More correct examples:

• There is a great documentary on TV tonight.​

• The match is on television right now.​

Using on in this sentence follows standard grammar rules and common native usage, which is why option (D) is the most appropriate answer.​
