re-airing
Broadcasting once more
Re-airing is the broadcast of a television or radio program that has already been shown.
Networks re-air episodes during off-seasons or when schedules need filling: They're re-airing last week's episode tonight.
The term emphasizes repetition rather than the neutral "airing," which could be original or repeat.
