Some people still like watching traditional tv (like myself). I’m old fashioned, despite not being old. lol.
I know all networks do push for viewers to go to their online platforms, but they also need some eyeballs for the actual tv channels.

Dude, if people want to watch re-runs on TV, it’s fine.

In fact, that’s what the networks want you to do. 
Why has what I said been misconstrued? I’m not against people watching repeats. I’m simply saying that you don’t have to wait until a show is repeated. If you really like something then you can tlrecord it or stream it. It also wouldn’t hurt to give up watching so many rubbish reality shows and prioritise a quality program instead. 
PS. Are you in America with your reruns and dudes? 
I’m sure that members of a media forum are well aware of that and don’t need to be reminded of streaming options that have been around for some years.

But people love telling us they missed a show because they had so many other shows to watch that clashed or caught up with a certain episode on a weekend.

Outback Adventures In Western Australia
Thursday 23 January 07:35 PM
Western Australia is rough, red and incredibly huge.
In one of the oldest landscapes on earth, exposed to the surface for billions of years, we search with a team of astrobiologists on life’s origin, get stuck with them in the mud, and dive into the tough work on a remote cattle station that is mainly done by young women. On an area as big as mainland Denmark they muster cattle every year with horses, choppers and trial-bikes.
Then, we see how bushfire is a disaster in a terrain full of oil-drenched eucalyptus and quick-burning spinifex grass, and accompany special-trained firefighters in their war against bushfires. We also learn how the Indigenous elders teach their families to prevent bushburn from the beginning by making fire in the right way.

Both claim the murder case for their department and are forced to investigate together. They soon find themselves embroiled in a fight against border-crossing gangs – if they want to solve the case, they’ll have to learn to work together, quickly.
Episode 1 When Matthias Trockland, who turned witness for ZERV, is found dead, ZERV West Commissioner Peter Simon and Karo Schubert from the Berlin homicide squad work together to solve the mystery surrounding Trockland’s death.

The boys are back! Smash-hit series Rogue Heroes returns for an adrenaline-fuelled second season
Jack O’Connell, Connor Swindells, Sofia Boutella and Dominic West are joined by new cast members Gwilym Lee, Con O’Neill, Mark Rowley, Jack Barton and more
Premieres Wednesday 26 February at 9:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand
Written and created for television by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, This Town, Taboo), and inspired by Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, the smash-hit series Rogue Heroes returns to action for a second season with the troops in Spring 1943. The first season is available to stream free now on SBS On Demand, and tune in for the premiere of season two Wednesdays from 26 February at 9:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Paddy Mayne takes control of the SAS following David Stirling’s capture, and now attention must turn from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe. But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment, while the creation of a second unit and an influx of new arrivals make things even more difficult for the men. Can they prove that the SAS remain essential to the war, wherever it may lead them?
The ensemble cast returning for season two are Jack O’Connell (Paddy Mayne), Connor Swindells (David Stirling**), Sofia Boutella** (Eve Mansour) and Dominic West (Dudley Clarke).
Gwilym Lee (The Great, Bohemian Rhapsody) joins the cast as Bill Stirling, David Stirling’s brother and founder of the 2SAS regiment, while Con O’Neill (Happy Valley, Our Flag Means Death) appears as General Montgomery.
Theo Barklem-Biggs (Reg Seekings), Corin Silva (Jim Almonds), Jacob Ifan (Pat Riley), Jacob McCarthy (Johnny Cooper), Stuart Campbell (Bill Fraser), and Bobby Schofield (Dave Kershaw) also return for duty in the second season.
Among the brigade’s new recruits are Mark Rowley (The Last Kingdom, The North Water) and Jack Barton (Heartstopper, War of the Worlds), who will play SAS members Jock McDiarmid and John Tonkin respectively. Further new cast members include Stuart Thompson (The Witcher, Starstruck), Paolo De Vita (Anonymous, La Grande Guerra del Salento), Anna Manuelli (Blocco 181, Pezzi unici), Edward Bennett (Industry, Save Me Too) and Matteo Franco.
Here’s what viewers can look forward to:
**Jack O’Connell said: “**A portrayal of amazing feats of what these lads got up to being first on the ground in mainland Europe, putting the fascists on the backfoot and running them up through Italy. Also, some great characters, great portrayals and a brilliant script. The characters are really distinct, and just as fascinating as we had before. Series one has its own unique set of challenges and the second does again, but what’s great is following these lads – all their dark humour, seeing them sustain themselves against all of the adversities they go through.”
Steven Knight said: “With something like Rogue Heroes you’re compelled to continue because the story did happen and did continue. The fact is that the true story of the SAS is a piece of drama better than anyone in fiction could invent. The characters are beyond belief but, in the majority of cases in the series, they’re real. I said at the beginning when we were promoting the first series, some of the things that really happened I can’t depict because no one would believe me.”
Commissioned by the BBC, Rogue Heroes season two is created, written and executive produced by Steven Knight, (Peaky Blinders, This Town, Taboo). Jack O’Connell and Ben Macintyre are executive producers of the series. Season two is directed by Stephen Woolfenden (Outlander, Willow) with Stephen Smallwood (The Serpent, Patrick Melrose) returning as producer. The series is executive produced by Karen Wilson, Emma Kingsman-Lloyd and Martin Haines for Kudos, and Nick Lambon for the BBC. Filming took place in Croatia and the UK.
Rogue Heroes was produced by Kudos (a Banijay UK company) for BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK and will be available on MGM+ in the United States and is distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.
Rogue Heroes will be subtitled on SBS On Demand in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Arabic.
The second season of Rogue Heroes is available to stream free weekly on SBS On Demand from 12.01am Wednesdays from 26 February, or you can tune in that evening at 9:30pm on SBS.

Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating
Tuesday 4 February 08:35 PM
Why are ultra-processed foods so irresistible and how have they come to dominate our food culture? This documentary by medical doctor and academic Dr Chris van Tulleken features interviews with former food industry insiders who talk openly about the way in which popular foods have been designed to be irresistible.
Food companies go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their products connect with consumers – using brain scans to assess the deliciousness of ice-cream to carefully engineering the sound of a crunch. Ultra-processed foods are hyper-delicious and super-convenient, have long shelf lives and can be inexpensive. But a growing body of evidence is linking these products to our declining health.
Is it really our fault if we can’t stop eating these foods? And can we change our food environment for the better?

Over the best part of a year, Sandi and her wife Debbie learn about the state of woodlands in the UK today, the problems trees are facing, and how they can effectively manage their own woodland to be a small part in the fight against climate change.

Faced with a dark, overgrown jungle, she steps into a world unknown to her, and begins to make a plan to help save this crucial part of the Great British landscape.
