Well, without the phrase “on the Internet”, the phrase might be mistaken as having a more limited scope. Someone once told me that Top Gear was “the most popular programme”, and I wondered if he meant the most popular programme in Britain, the most popular programme on that TV channel, or what. I didn’t ask, because I wasn’t sure whether to call it a “programme”, as he did, or a “show”, as I normally would.
