I’d say advertising has a lot to do with that. A repeat of Only Fools and Horses, Friends etc would draw in more viewership than the shows mentioned in the OP because they were and still are very popular; more viewership = more advertising revenue.

Why choose to air an old show that isn’t really as popular and make less money when you can air a different show from around the same time period, that was extremely popular and make more money. It’s good business sense.

Make money for who? Not us the people. Make money for greedy tw@s the sort of greedy tw@s that would be slave owners given the chance.

And what do those people do with their money? Invest in wars to make more money.

So you ask the question "why choose an old show?"

Answer. Because maybe that is what the people want.

Well that’s exactly the point. They don’t really care what people want to watch so long as they’re making money themselves. They’ll churn out the same programs over and over if it’s making them money.

I mean you could write to them? Tell them exactly what you think of their channel and how lazy they are but you’d be wasting your time.
