What does RERUN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A television or radio programme that is broadcast again after its first showing.
A rerun lets viewers who missed a programme the first time watch it later, and it is a routine part of how broadcasters fill schedules between new episodes. Older sitcoms and cartoons are especially common as reruns, since audiences often watch a favourite show many times over the years. The same idea extends outside television: a laboratory might order a rerun of a test, meaning the test is carried out once more from the start.
