rerun
Second TV showing
A rerun is a broadcast of a television program that has already aired: Nothing but reruns this summer.
The word extends to any repetition of something already done or experienced: a rerun of last year's debate.
As a verb, to rerun is to broadcast, perform, or execute again: They reran the experiment with better controls.
