Line 129:
* Another Canadian example is Family Channel (''our'' [[Disney Channel]]). Canadian-made [[Kid Com]]s seem to be crammed down your throat as well. ''[[The Latest Buzz]]'', ''[[Life with Derek]]'', and ''Overruled!'', anyone?
** Hell, we can pretty much add ''any'' [[Disney Channel]] Original Series that's live action. Whereas ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' gets lots of love from Disney Channels all over the world, the show barely gets shown on Family. Whereas the ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Suite]]'' ''[[Suite Life On Deck|Life]]'' series and ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' gets played many, many times over. It's pretty much [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|hell]] to anyone that hates Disney Channel's live action shows. Oh, and ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'' and ''[[That's So Raven]]'' still airs to this day in prime-time.
** Eventually, even ''[[Lab Rats]]'' has gotten the marathon treatment, despite already airing on the Canadian [[Disney XD]], even ''[[Pair of Kings]]'' ([[Channel Hop|until moving to Disney XD]]) was given the [[
* Affiliate syndication is likely to do this with either the darling network show of the moment (watch out for ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' in the fall 2010 syndication blocks) or court shows (since there are plenty of them out there). Likely justified, as local affiliates—and especially their sister stations—don't have the same budget as the major networks and need material that they can air on the cheap. The big network like NBC or CBS doesn't directly own the local station but won't have a problem with an affiliate running its own syndicated reruns.
** The same case with stations which air locally-produced "daytime shows" which are barely disguised [[Infomercial]]s for local businesses and fully scripted. Literally only the person in the station's control room may be watching, but the station gets the money from the sponsor even if the show has no ratings to speak of, so the rest of the station's market has to suffer through it because it gives said businesses "exposure".
Line 323:
* The [[Nicktoons]] network, as of summer 2010, has ''[[Dragonball Z Kai]]'' and ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' as their frequently airing shows. In July, they started airing on weekdays along with [[Invader Zim|a third show requested by popular demand]]. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
** Though they seem to be annoyed by marathons of the "original animated infomercials" ''NFL Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core" and ''Zevo-3''.
** They hardly even show ''[[Invader Zim]]'' like they did when it first premiered. They pretty much replaced it with massive, full 3 hour blocks of Zevo-3. The new, stupid 5 minute show "NFL Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core" has been [[
** Let's not even ''start'' with ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]''. Massive blocks on both Nickelodeon and Nicktoons, It seemed for a while that you couldn't go a single day of the week without seeing at least three episodes of it.
*** Often the same three episodes. Again and again and again. Seriously, for a while you could only see three to five episodes, total, of ''[[Penguins Of Madagascar]]'' and ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'', even with the knowledge that other episodes probably existed. They would play them in hour blocks, yet you never seemed to catch a new episode.
