What is a "repeat"?

A repeat is a program that is broadcast again after its original airing, usually on television or radio. These programs are often shown at different times to allow more people to watch or listen to them. Repeats can include popular shows, news broadcasts, or special events that viewers may have missed during the first airing. They are commonly scheduled to help fill time slots or give audiences a chance to catch up on content they enjoyed.

Examples

The network decided to air a repeat of last week's popular episode.
