Query: On what network did the British TV show UFO originally air?
Owing to the fragmented nature of the ITV network in the United Kingdom at the time, the 26 episodes of UFO were broadcast out of production order, and every broadcaster showed the episodes in a different order. The list below, drawn from Chris Bentley's The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO, details the running order shown on ATV (in the Midlands) and on Thames Television in London.
What's Up, Doc? was a children's program which aired on the Nine Network in Australia from 31 July 1993 until 24 December 1999. It centred on the showing of Warner Bros. cartoons and hosted segments with additional original elements. It followed on from "The Bugs Bunny Show", a similar program hosted by Sophie Lee, which aired from 1990 until 1992.
A 50-minute HDTV documentary called "Westall ‘66: A Suburban UFO Mystery" first aired on Australian TV on 4 June 2010.
On 4 June 2010 a Seven Network TV program, "Today Tonight", produced a segment about the Westall case and documentary.
With the revival series on FOX, "Get Smart" became the first television franchise to air new episodes (or made-for-TV films) on each of the aforementioned current four major American television networks, although several TV shows in the 1940s and 1950s aired on NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont. The different versions of "Get Smart" did not all feature the original lead cast.
There are relatively few examples of American shows remade for the British market (the majority of these being game shows), and the British television audience are very accepting of the American originals while being much less accepting of British remakes (see, for instance, the failure of "Brighton Belles", the British remake of "The Golden Girls"). The U.S. remakes have sometimes been imported back into the UK. By contrast, original British programmes are rarely seen on the major U.S. networks in modern times (in the 1960s the airing of UK-produced programs such as "The Avengers" and "Fireball XL5" on U.S. network TV occurred frequently) and are usually broadcast only on the Public Broadcasting Service and on cable television, especially BBC America, with only a few purely British shows having gained mainstream popularity in the United States. This list includes a number of pilots not subsequently made into series.
In February 2010, the African-American-themed cable network TV One aired a five-hour marathon of "The Richard Pryor Show", which consisted of the original special, followed by all four episodes of the series. The broadcast marked one of only two times that the show had been aired on television since its original run on NBC. In the late 1990s,it was re-shown as a summer filler show after most of their other series had either been canceled or fulfilled their regular seasons. In February 2011, TV One re-aired the episodes again in honor of black history month. The network began showing the episodes again, in August 2012.
With the revival series on Fox, "Get Smart" became the first television franchise to air new episodes on each of the current four major American television networks, although several TV shows in the 1940s and 1950s aired on NBC, CBS, ABC, and DuMont. The different versions of "Get Smart" did not all feature the original lead cast intact. The first four seasons of the original "Get Smart" series aired on NBC, while the fifth and final season aired on CBS. "Get Smart, Again!" aired on ABC.
In the fall of 2003, Game Show Network picked up the rights to the ABC version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with Regis Philbin, and in December, began airing GSN Video Games, the first program to air on the network that had nothing to do with traditional game shows. Although the show - a repackaging of somewhat dated British video game review shows (mostly Gamer.tv) - was short-lived, it was a sign of the network's change of format from Game Show Network's "all game shows, all the time" to what eventually became "GSN: The Network for Games". Its last program using Game Show Network was Lingo.
Lifetime has also purchased the rights to programs that originally aired on broadcast networks and produced new episodes. In 1988, it bought the rights to the existing 26 episodes of "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd" from its original broadcaster NBC, and produced 13 additional episodes of the series. Lifetime did not renew the show reportedly because of low ratings and the high cost to produce the program. In late 2011, the network began to air new episodes of "America's Most Wanted," a program canceled in series form by Fox at the end of the 2010–11 season, although special feature episodes continued to air intermittently on Fox. Lifetime aired more than 40 new episodes of the program before cancelling it in 2013.
There are also two popular misconceptions about the series. The first is that it aired on the CBS network; it never did. The second is that the network and the sponsor did not wish to be affiliated with a show about Confederate soldiers. Syndicated shows, by definition, have no network sponsors. In New York City, "The Gray Ghost" ran not on WCBS-TV (Channel 2) but on WPIX (Channel 11), an independent station. It ran Thursdays from 8:30-9:00 p.m. The series was distributed "in association with CBS Television film series." Such closing credits gave some the wrong impression that the program had aired on CBS.
As premium cable found its way with successful original programming, HBO would follow suit in what Showtime realized all along concerning syndication, and both would find that concurrent airings of cable series on broadcast TV wasn't so risky. In 1988, Showtime made history once again when they struck a deal with the young Fox Broadcasting Company to begin airing their "Brothers" stablemate, the smash hit "It's Garry Shandling's Show", on Sunday nights in order to raise Fox's profile among the broadcast networks. Not only did "It's Garry Shandling's Show" fulfill its mission for Fox, but it actually increased interest in Showtime, and subscription rates benefited.
In the spring of 2001, a transmitter failure left KDNL off-the-air for a number of days (or at least broadcasting at a lower power than it did normally). What little audience its newscasts had ended up switching to other sources and never returned. The station finally shut down its news department altogether on October 12, 2001. For the next nine years, KDNL was one of the very few major network affiliates that did not air any local newscasts, with the only news programming on the station consisting of national news programs from ABC News. Until January 2011, the station had been the largest major network affiliate in terms of market size without any local newscasts (CBS O&O WWJ-TV in Detroit was the largest until May 5, 2009, when it launched a now-canceled weekday morning show that was originally produced in partnership with the "Detroit Free Press"). Most major network affiliates are contractually obligated to air local news, but KDNL's affiliation agreement does not have such a clause.

in September 2011, WWE announced it would launch its own 24/7 TV Network, the original plan was for the network to launch on April 1, 2012 to coincide with WrestleMania XXVII on several cable and satellite TV providers, however, Dish and its competition in the cable and satellite TV industry in the United States declined and it sat the network's launch two years back. Then on January 8, 2014 at a press conference for the Consumer Electronics Show, WWE announced that the WWE Network would launch as an Internet TV network with an on-demand streaming service similar to Netflix in which they also announced that all pay-per-view events starting with WrestleMania XXX would air on the network for free as part of the subscription to the network in which people would pay for it at a fixed price with a six-month commitment. This decision did not set in with all cable and satellite TV providers as this would devalue the monthly WWE pay per views as they charge a price that would be higher than what the monthly price of the online service would cost. DirecTV and Comcast had considered removing the pay per views from their lineup.

Since 2009, TV Land has also added more recent series from the 1990s and 2000s, such as those already or formerly aired on Nick at Nite (from which TV Land has acquired several of its programs since its inception) like "The Cosby Show", "Roseanne", "Who's the Boss?", "The Nanny", and "Friends", and shows that had not aired its former parent network like "Murphy Brown", "The Golden Girls", "Everybody Loves Raymond", and "The King of Queens". However, the network continues to air series from older decades throughout its schedule, mainly during the daytime and overnight hours. The network's scheduling is often not bound to the strictness of half-hour timeslots outside of primetime, with programming airing in expanded timeslots to allow more advertising to be sold, though in most cases, the series on TV Land continue to use the 'syndication cut' rather than the original network airing cut of an episode.
Originally, reruns of "Mad TV" aired as 30-minute reruns on local TV stations, often under the banner "The Best of "Mad TV"". The cable channel TNN (later Spike TV, now The Paramount Network) aired the first six seasons of "Mad TV" from 1999 to 2001. Comedy Central soon picked up the show after its syndication package of "Saturday Night Live" reruns was acquired by the E! Entertainment Network, and aired 30-minute and full-hour reruns of episodes from seasons 1 through 11 until 2015. Canada's The Comedy Network also airs "Mad TV" reruns of seasons 8 through 13. In 2005, Canadian channel BiteTV began airing re-runs every weekday at 4pm. As of 2017, "MADtv" is not aired on any American channel.

Nielsen has worked for Italian television, hosting shows such as: "Festival" (1987), the 1992 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, "Retromarsh!" (1996–1997), and "..la sai l'ultima?" (1999). In 1997, she hosted a talk show series "Gittes venner" for a Danish TV network and some TV shows for RTSI, the Italian language Swiss television network.

In April 2011, she attended the British variety/talent show "Sing If You Can", which aired on ITV.
Although ABC originated the show, the network handed it off to the USA Network. USA is now owned by NBC (NBC Universal).[24] Monk was the first ABC Studios-produced show aired on USA Network instead of ABC. Although ABC initially refused Monk, they did air repeats of the show on ABC in the summer and fall of 2002, and then again in the spring of 2004. On January 12, 2006, USA Network announced that Monk had been picked up through at least season six as one of the "highest-rated series in cable history."[25] An in-joke reference to this contract renewal was also inserted into the episode "Mr. Monk and the Big Reward", which aired around this time.
LRW (Lifetime Real Women) is an American pay television channel which is intended as a complementary service to the main Lifetime network. It was launched in August 2001, mainly as a response to Lifetime's challenges from the then-launching WE tv and Oxygen networks for the women's network market. LRW is available in over 10 million homes via Verizon FiOS, and AT&T U-verse. The network has a mixture of comedies, dramas, how-to, game shows and reality programming that had once aired or is currently airing on the main Lifetime network, and formerly imported series with rights held by Lifetime but no carriage due to the main network's current format. LRW also features no original series or films, deferring from Lifetime and LMN, though it did burn off the 2011 Lifetime reality series "Love Handles: Couples in Crisis", which only aired twice on the main network.
The New Detectives: Case Studies in Forensic Science is a documentary true crime television show that aired two to three different cases in forensic science per episode. Episode reruns currently air on the Discovery Channel, TLC, the Investigation Discovery network, and the Justice Network. Before the series was canceled, the show also aired on The History Channel in the United States and Canal D, Court TV, and Botswana TV in Canada. The show was also carried by international markets where the series was shown on the Discovery Channel UK, Discovery Europe, the Crime & Investigation Network in Australia, Prime TV in New Zealand, TV Norge, TV Danmark, Kanal 5 in Sweden, and RTL in the Netherlands. A version of the series was broadcast on the British Channel Five, under the name "Murder Detectives: Case Files.
During the third season, the series introduced a pair of characters that harkened back to the original incarnation of "What's Happening!!". Maurice Warfield (Martin Lawrence) was a teenager who spent his afternoons as a busboy at Rob's under the supervision of Shirley and Raj while his best friend Darryl (Ken Sagoes) hung out with him. Together, they had many misadventures not unlike the original trio of Raj, Dwayne, and Rerun.The original "What's Happening!!" was a modest success in its network run on ABC, despite some serious production problems. But repeats of the show's 65 episodes did reasonably well in syndication. In some markets, the show was perceived to appeal to both children and adults in a similar way to "The Brady Bunch" and "Happy Days". The show was often aired in transitional hours where stations would go from cartoons to evening sitcoms. In a few markets the show actually had higher ratings in syndication than during the network run. This, combined with a trend of former network series finding new life in first-run syndication that was going on during the 1980s, led to the development of what eventually became "What's Happening Now!!".
