Line 79:
*** So much so that three days a week they air three hour blocks of the show.
* Fictional example: in ''[[Network]]'', the network president (Ned Beatty) refuses to cancel ''The Howard Beale Show'' despite tanking ratings, because Beale is basically acting as his mouthpiece.
* The US version of ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]'' is perhaps the [[Trope Codifier]] and poster boy of this. The show was a massive hit for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in a time when the network was struggling. They quickly capitalized on the popularity of the show, giving it multiple airings per week (up to ''four'' days a week) in order to keep the ratings up. Unfortunately Millionaire's overplay escalated the show's downfall and cancellation. On the bright side, it still enjoys success in the syndication format.
* On [[Nickelodeon]], ''[[iCarly]]'' is also guaranteed to have a lot of episodes running on a given day (at least three or four a day on average, sometimes more on weekends).
** During summer 2010, ''[[Big Time Rush]]'' and ''[[Victorious]]'' were both big ones for Nickelodeon. They would rerun ''at least two'' episodes of both ''every single day''. Not counting Friday and Saturday night blocks. ''Big Time Rush'' had just enough episodes to cover a full week, but ''Victorious'' only had eight episodes to air.
