When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

augmente la longévité des programmes

"En 1990, PPDA devient le seul maître à bord de l'émission rebaptisée Les Guignols de l'info. L'émission est depuis suivie quotidiennement par 2.5 à 3 millions de téléspectateurs chaque jour. (...) Yves Le Rolland, le producteur artistique depuis 1995, ne s'étonne pas de la longévité du programme car"se moquer des puissants fait du bien à tout le monde". "

Tony M
: I don't think 'longevity' quite conveys the same idea; it means how long a programme (series) may run for, whereas here I think they mean for how long a programme (possibly only one) could still be shown (cultural / stylistic dating, etc.)

I get your point. It would help to know the "characteristic" though, wouldn't it.
