Hello.
This is designated to be the complete thread providing information regarding a concept called shared-window, repurposed (repurposing), encore or multipurposing. It will be updated as announcements are made by networks, cable networks, or production companies regarding broadcast network shows that will have a second or more airings on partner channels. Tracking these showings started four seasons ago on this forum and with modest growths in the programs participating, I hope this thread can be even more comprehensive as each year goes by.
To best use this concept with TiVo, you would create a Title Auto-Record (AR), First Run Only option (FRO) Wishlist (WL) (called TAFWL from hereon). There are sometimes slight variations to the TAFWL that will be noted to help optimize. The special phrase provided in quotes should be used for the title (including the quotes) in the TAFWL.
There is a FAQ in the second post to help answer questions you may have about shared-window and why this is an important/useful concept to use with TiVo devices.
If you have show updates including a link to a web article, please post to this thread or send me a PM. By keeping all of the information to one thread, I hope this provides a service to the TiVo community.
Note: Air times are only provided as a guidance, but there will be variations. The TAFWL will watch the moving time slot and do keep an active watch on your ToDo list in case other show priorities cause problems.
Okay, here is the latest as of January 5, 2006.
HD designations when applicable are provided.
ABC
From time to time, ABC will air popular shows on Saturdays for those who missed the original airing. These airings are not consistent for all shows, but are available for shows including Commander in Chief, Desperate Housewives, Invasion and Lost.
The Bachelor will likely encore on ABC Family near the end of its ABC run.
CBS
There are currently no known shows scheduled for second airings.
FOX
There are currently no known shows scheduled for second airings.
NBC - THE KING OF MULTIPLEXING

UPN
America's Next Top Model (UPN Encore)
(TAFWL use "Next Top Model") (Tue 8p E/P) (UPN SD)
Some affiliates may encore other UPN programming on the weekends (such as Veronica Mars).
A list of possible shows that might be second-aired or the unique broadcast reruns of original cable shows:
Any network reality show not in the top 30 ratings.
A list of possible partner networks based on cross-ownership:
CBS: UPN, Any cable network in the MTV Networks/Viacom family
NBC: Bravo, USA Network, Sci-Fi, CNBC, MSNBC, Telemundo (NBCUni)
ABC: ABC Family, USA Network (via production deal)
WB: Any cable network in the Time Warner family
UPN: Any cable network in the MTV Networks/Viacom family
Fox: FX
Interesting factoids:
I couldn't think of what the O stood for in TiVo, but 24, West Wing, and Alias are good. You can use AR WLs to record pilots to catch most of the new shows out there too each season.
