I am dealing with different types of programme broadcast on radio and television
The two terms I am asking about are 'rubrique' and 'chronique', 'Chronique' here...
I understand it to be a 'regular spot' in a mazagine style programme. My effort is not very professional! Is there a proper term please?
Here it is in context.
Suivre l'actualité dans son domaine d'intervention et y développer des savoirs afin de pouvoir proposer des sujets d'émission ou de chroniques.
Thanks for any help.

: It's a feature, but I don't think it's regular - see the discussion entries.

(regular) programme
US program
I think this will fit all contexts. I think "feature" is more often used in print media and "spot" is used for ads

: I thought of "theme base show", but "(regular) feature" works well, too, I suppose.

theme shows/programs (tv and radio only; otherwise "columns")
Hello,
In newspaper and magazines, "chroniques" are usually "columns"; however, in the TV world, these are "theme shows/programs" (just the TV equivalent of magazine/newspaper column).
I believe the use of the word "theme" is key here.
And, yes, that it is a *regular* program/show is very much the case with "chroniques".
I found this definition on my Petit Robert:
Article de journal ou de revue, emission de télévision ou de radio qui traite régulièrement d'un thème particulier.
I hope this helps.

regular feature
I believe rubrique is a general term for spot or segment, while chronique is a regular or returning feature.

On-going feature would work as well.

Discussion
I have never known "chronique" - with regard to radio, tv or print - to be something that does not happen "regularly".
Christine: if I post that as an answer, can I have some points? :-)
It is a regular theme show on tv, normally-speaking. And, if you google, that is the idea, too.
From Petit Robert.
