Concerts by a small jazz combo or small bluegrass band may have the same order of program, mood, and volume—but vary in music and dress. In a similar way, a particular musician, band, or genre of music might attract concert attendees with similar dress, hairstyle, and behavior. For example, concert goers in the 1960s often had long hair (sometimes in dread lock form), sandals and inexpensive clothing made of natural fibers. Regular attendees to

405-444: A concert venue might also have a recognizable style that comprises that venue's scene. A recital is a solo concerto , i.e. a concert by a soloist or small group which follows a program .

Game shows , variety shows , Saturday morning cartoons , and to a lesser extent, newsmagazines , tabloid talk shows , and late-night talk shows (often in edited form) have been seen less commonly in reruns; game shows can quickly become dated because of inflation , while talk shows often draw humor from contemporary events. Tabloid talk shows, with episode archives of thousands of episodes, tend to do well in reruns compared to talk shows without an element of conflict. Newsmagazines, especially those that focus on evergreen stories such as true crime , are easily repackaged for

891-515: A man by the name of Thomas Britton held weekly concerts in Clerkenwell . However, these concerts were different.

With the growing availability of cable and satellite television channels, as well as over-the-air digital subchannels , combined with a growing body of available postsyndication programming, a handful of specialty channels have been built solely or primarily to run former network programming, which otherwise would no longer be in syndication. Branded as "classic television", these often carry reruns of programming dating back to

1458-703: A season similar to the American format. As in the U.S., fewer new episodes are made during the summer. Until recently, the BBC , ITV and Channel 4 commonly repeated classic shows from their archives, but this has more or less dried up in favor of newer (and cheaper) formats such as reality shows, except on the BBC, where older BBC shows, especially sitcoms , including Dad's Army and Fawlty Towers , are frequently repeated.

2592-1378: The Hallmark Channel . Equity Media Holdings had been using low-power television stations to carry its own Retro Television Network in various markets; those stations were, as a result of Equity going bankrupt, sold to religious broadcaster Daystar Television Network . Since the early 2010s, the growth of digital subchannel networks has allowed for increasing specialization of these classic networks: in addition to general-interest program networks such as MeTV , MeTV+ , getTV , Antenna TV and Rewind TV , there exist networks solely for comedies ( Catchy Comedy and Laff ), game shows ( Buzzr ), ethnic-oriented programs ( Bounce TV and TheGrio ), lifestyle and reality programming ( Story Television , TBD , TrueReal , Defy TV , Twist , and Quest ), westerns ( Grit , and Heroes & Icons ), music programming ( Circle ), sports programming ( Stadium and SportsGrid ), sci-fi and action programming ( Comet and Charge! ), true crime and court programming ( True Crime Network , Court TV , Ion Mystery , and Start TV ), news programming ( Newsy ), and feature films ( Movies! , and This TV ).

Specials typically pad out the remainder of the schedule. Often, if a television special such as Peter Pan or a network television broadcast of a classic film such as The Wizard of Oz is especially well received, it will be rerun from time to time. Before

3078-442: The 1980s and beyond, it is still expensive to repeat archive television series on British terrestrial television , as new contracts have to be drawn up and payments made to the artists concerned. Repeats on multichannel television are cheaper, as are reshowings of newer programs covered by less strict repeat clauses. However, programs are no longer destroyed, as the historical and cultural reasons for keeping them have now been seen and

3645-674: The English violinist John Banister . Over the next few centuries, concerts began to gain larger audiences, and classical symphonies were very popular. Finally, after World War 2, these events changed into the modern concerts that take place today. An example of an early, post-WW2 concert is the Moondog Coronation Ball . The first known occurrence of concerts where people are charged admission took place at violinist John Banister 's home in Whitefriars, London in 1672. 6 years later in 1678,

3726-585: The UK (for example, Gold ) repackage and rebroadcast "classic" programming from both sides of the Atlantic. Some of these channels, like their U.S. counterparts, make commercial timing cuts; others get around this by running shows in longer time slots, and critics of timing cuts see no reason why all channels should not do the same. It has been common practice by networks, notably the BBC, to rerun some series after they have not fared particularly well on their original run. This

3807-480: The United States, currently running shows rerun older episodes from the same season to fill the time slot with the same program during the "off-season" period when no new episodes are being made.

Concessions and merchandise are also often sold during and after concerts; often by the venue in the case of the former, and by the performing band or artist in the case of the latter. The global live music industry revenue stood at 28.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in 2023 was record-breaking, generating $ 1.04 billion in revenue, averaging $ 17.3 million per show. The term "full house"

4455-522: The free program during other shows (barter syndication is far more common, if not the norm, in radio, where only the most popular programs charge rights fees). The Program Exchange was once the most prominent barter syndicator in United States television, offering mostly older series from numerous network libraries. Barter syndicated series may be seen on smaller, independent stations with small budgets or as short-term filler on larger stations; they tend not to be as widely syndicated as programs syndicated with

4536-551: The late 1940s and early 1950s were performed live, and in many cases, they were never recorded. However, television networks in the United States began making kinescope recordings of shows broadcast live from the East Coast . This allowed the show to be broadcast later for the West Coast . These kinescopes, along with previously filmed shows, and later, videotape , paved the way for extensive reruns of syndicated television series. In

4617-406: The late 1990s primarily due to lack of demand, which had only a DVD set of the first and second seasons released due to the expensiveness of relicensing songs used in later seasons of the series that are performed by the show's two lead characters . In some cases, series whose later season releases have been held up for these reasons may have the remaining seasons made available on DVD, often after

The musical repertoire performed at these events ranged from works composed by young Mozart, to songs that were popular in that time period. The nature of

4779-407: The musicians, venue, equipment and audience (ticket sales) are handled by professional tour promoters . While the first concerts did not officially appear until the late 17th century, similar gatherings had been around throughout the 17th century at several European universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge .

Additional revenue is also often raised through in-concert advertising, from free local concerts for local sponsorships to sponsorships from corporations during major tours e.g. 2009's " Vans' Warped Tour Presented by AT&T ". Both Vans and AT&T would have paid significant amounts to have their company names included at

5103-442: The prior season between the end of that season and the beginning of the next. Some television programs that are released on DVD (particularly those that have been out of production for several years) may not have all of the seasons released, either due to poor overall sales or prohibitive costs for obtaining rights to music used in the program; one such incidence is Perfect Strangers , which has seldom been in wide syndication since

5184-459: The program are sold as a package. Generally, the buyer is either a cable channel or an owner of local television stations. Often, programs are not particularly profitable until they are sold for syndication. Since local television stations often need to sell more commercial airtime than network affiliates , syndicated shows are usually edited to make room for extra commercials. Often, about 100 episodes (four to five seasons' worth) are required for

5427-400: The same channel/network. The episode is usually the "repeat" of the scheduled episode that was broadcast in the original timeslot earlier the previous week. It allows viewers who were not able to watch the show in its timeslot to catch up before the next episode is broadcast. The term "rerun" can also be used in some respects as a synonym for " reprint ", the equivalent term for print items; this

5508-471: The same issues reality shows face, have found a niche on multichannel television and free ad-supported streaming television. With the rise of the DVD video format, box sets featuring season or series runs of television series have become an increasingly important retail item. Some view this development as a rising new idea in the industry of reruns as an increasingly major revenue source in themselves instead of
