** When French cartoon channel Gulli launched, it gave WesternAnimation/OggyandtheCockroaches two airings (unlike other shows, which only got one). As if that wasn't enough for them, Oggy would reign supreme for 4 years, be given tons of promotion, aired twice on most blocks, and every Saturday night from 2005 to 2008 would have some kind of Oggy thing airing. This died down in 2009, after Canal+ got the rights for the first two seasons from Gulli. But the adoration came back on 30 June 2017, where they premiered 6 season 5 episodes back-to-back. We don't even speak of 9pm on 21 October 2018 to 6am of 22 October 2018. They aired nothing but Oggy.

* The whole time Creator/CookieJarTV was on CBS, only one show stayed on its lineup for a long time, ''Busytown Mysteries''. They aired it for one hour every Saturday. In fact, when the block in fall 2009, they played the show ''every'' hour in the whole three hour 9am-12pm Saturday morning lineup, which means that it was shown thrice. Eventually it did slowed down completely.

** As of June 2020, ''WesternAnimation/SuperMonsters'' often airs up to three to six half hour blocks on Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes, it airs more than ''Friendship is Magic'' does (especially considering the latter show has already ended)!

** Despite the show in the US lasting one season and fading into obscurity, YTV adored ''WesternAnimation/Detention'' and gave it plenty of promotion with their other shows. It lasted 5 years longer on YTV than it did on Kids WB, despite the show having only 13 episodes.

* The now defunct Discovery Kids'' network, for its last few years, essentially was ''WesternAnimation/KennyTheShark'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Tutenstein}}'' (both of which made the jump to successor network Creator/TheHub) with the occasional ''WesternAnimation/TimeWarpTrio'', ''Bindi The Jungle Girl'', ''Prehistoric Planet'' and ''Series/{{Dinosapien}}'' (which also was kept on The Hub) thrown in.

* Brazilian station Record has been infamous lately for repeat broadcasts of ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'', mostly at night preceding the news. And while not an animated program, ''Series/EverybodyHatesChris'' is on the same condition.

** Creator/TheHub also adored ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', much more than Creator/FoxKids, Creator/KidsWB and Creator/CartoonNetwork ever did (Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} never really treated the show very well), airing promos for the show during every program on the network (even during ''Animaniacs'' itself), and in addition to the Christmas marathon, they ran a two-hour one for Martin Luther King Day (along with ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'') and a two and a half-hour one for Super Bowl weekend. At one point, the show aired for ''three hours'' on weekdays. This is all despite the fact that the show was 20 years old at that point.
** And when Creator/TheHub itself was replaced by Discovery Family, the ponies remained, as beloved by the new regime as the old. On the other hand, ''Animaniacs'' was unceremoniously removed.

* British children's network POP Max premiered three of the ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' animated series together in October 2016[[note]]specifically ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsToons'', ''WesternAnimation/PiggyTales'' and ''WesternAnimation/AngryBirdsStella'', with ''Pigs at Work'' somehow being broadcasted during the commercial slot[[/note]], yet their rotation was only limited to the first 26 episodes of every series due to the latter being a ShortRunner. How could this be a network favorite, you ask? Just two months after their network premiere, they were treated with the same level of admiration as their other, more long-lasting shows, usually averaging six episodes every weekday and ''twelve'' per weekend, causing the entire rotation to be reset by the following week.
** In August 2017, POP Max started hosting marathons of their shows that lasted around ''9 hours'' on average, with ''Angry Birds'' being one of them. However, their hype for the show has died down in recent months, to the point where it no longer airs on any Creator/{{Sony}}-owned channels.

** TV Ontario also adored anything related to ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]]'' from 1998 until 2010, to the point where they still showed ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' at the same time ''Make Way For Noddy'' was premiering new episodes in 2002. They also aired ''Say It With Noddy'' in between other shows even after the show was removed from their lineup.

* Back in the day before their schedule underwent an overhaul in the early 2010s, UK children's TV channel Pop loved showing many of the shows from Creator/DICEntertainment's library, especially as their airings of them retained DIC's logos, which is something that Cookie Jar never learned to do so.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBabyBackInBusiness'': [[https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/netflix-animation-erased-executives-fired-220251819.html In a report]] breaking down the downsizing of Netflix's in-house animation branch, canceling projects in the process, the company's staff reportedly praised this series as the "ideal" for what an animated show on Netflix should achieve in terms of viewership numbers. This is in spite of the show being a third-party acquisition from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation. Writer [[https://twitter.com/I_BrandonSawyer/status/1516982520838991872 Brandon Sawyer]] even cited that, due to the original deal with Dreamworks, Netflix had a hands-off approach in the series' development.

** ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'' is slowly becoming a favorite for Universal Kids, following its launch on said channel in November 2020. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Unlike most of the]] Creator/DreamworksAnimation [[ScrewedByTheNetwork shows on their schedule]], ''Trolls'' often gets several reruns a day. The fact that [[WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}} its parent franchise]] has become [[CashCowFranchise very lucrative]] over the years might partially explain this scenario.
*** At one point in time, ''Remy and Boo'' was their second most-run show, but as of May 2022, that title now belongs to ''WebAnimation/{{Cocomelon}}'', which airs for four hours a day.
