Movies & TV Shows

The English language has many hypernyms, for example, you can use sports to refer to rugby, a cycle race or competitive fishing. However, I am unaware of there existing one that encompasses both Movies and Television Shows.

This thought came into my head while trying to name this category of resource in my digital garden. I eventually settled upon films even though most things are shot on digital now and while the word film connotes Movies to most I had to settle on something and words such as media and video felt too broad.
