stunting
Stunting is a condition resulting from chronic malnutrition, typically associated with poor socio-economic conditions, which often begins before birth and is characterized by significantly impaired growth and development. It is often measured in terms of height-for-age and can cause long-term impacts on cognitive development, educational performance, and future income-earning potential. In a broader context, it is also used to describe any kind of impaired growth or development. The term can also be used in sports or entertainment to refer to performances displaying skill or daring feats.

Stunting
In radio broadcasting, stunting occurs when a station abruptly airs content that is seemingly uncharacteristic compared to what they normally play. The tactic is commonly used when a station is about to undergo a major change, or simply as a prank on listeners and rival broadcasters; either way, stunting is intended as a way to generate a greater amount of media publicity and audience attention to the station, by virtue of its shock value, than a straightforward format change could provide. Depending on the station's situation and its management's preference, stunt formats can last anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks before the permanent change is launched.
