It's on at seven o'clock. | WordReference Forums
Feb 12, 2007 · It's on at 7." I agree. "On the air" would sound very much like mid-20th century speech. "It's on at (some time)" is the primary way I hear people speak about a TV show. If it's a game, you might also hear, "it starts at (some time)", but "it's on" really tells you more. There are often pre-game discussions and coverage of a game starting at 4 ...

Seven o’clock <p.m.> <in the afternoon> - WordReference Forums
May 10, 2022 · Seven o'clock is seven o'clock - no matter how light out it is.
