just because something is available On Demand doesn’t mean people will watch it that way.

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.

Sunday 19 January 08:30 PM
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.
Divided We Stand
Thursday 23 January 10:55 PM
Berlin 1991: Karo Schubert has fought for a position as chief detective in reunified Germany. In the murder case of a high-ranking employee of the Ministry of Disarmament, tasked with disbanding the National People’s Army, she meets the newly appointed Western Commissioner Peter Simon from the special unit “ZERV”. 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.
Episode 2 When ZERV officers find a large cache of banned weapons in the decommissioned NVA military site, Simon and Karo presume that Trockland may have been killed because he was pursuing the illegal NVA arms trade.
Movie: The Goldfinch

Theodore “Theo” Decker was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day…a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch. The Goldfinch.
