* In 2008, Discovery was obsessed with DeadliestCatch, using any excuse to run a marathon. This wouldn't be so bad, except they only had three seasons worth of coverage, and they showed at least four hours of the show a ''day''. By the end of the week, you were all caught up if you were a new viewer. They have gotten better, though, at least moving on from DealiestCatch to ''other'' new favorite shows. Like DirtyJobs and CashCab.

** They're getting worse. If a show's season just ended or went to Mid Season Break (when did that get popular anyway?), expect USA to show a marathon. Burn Notice got two days to show various episodes, and White Collar got two days ''in the same week'' to do the same thing. USA essentially has nothing for daytime programming.

* Non-television example: Valve's obsession with continually updating ''TeamFortress2'' and expanding the ''Left4Dead'' franchise has been viewed as taking precedence over making new games, ''{{Half-Life}} 2: Episode 3'' in particular.

** {{Toonami}} was obviously head-over-heals for [[DragonBall Dragon Ball Z,]] which, up until it ended in 2003, (then up until the uncut version stopped airing in 2005) was shown as many times as possible. To be fair, it was highly acclaimed, very popular, and the biggest ratings whore ever at the time. And then came [[{{Naruto}} a certain show about an orange-wearing ninja...]] (pictured above)

** Nick-At-Nite is every bit as bad with ''TheGeorgeLopezShow'', probably worse. First, they would run marathons of the show for every occasion imaginable using any excuse they could get, no matter how shoddy. Then they did away with the excuses, and now they show marathons of ''George Lopez'' without even giving an excuse to do so. On at least one occasion, they aired '''over 40 hours''' of it in one week.

** In-universe example when it comes to sports: Football. If it's autumn and your network carries the NFL, expect a pop-up ad or commercial every five minutes reminding you when the next game is and who's playing. Even when it's a sports station like ESPN, the NFL will be promoted far more than anything else it carries.

* [[TropesAreNotBad Not that most people really minded]], but The Simpsons ran at 6:00 PM on BBC2 for so long that when it went over to Channel 4, they kept it at the 6:00PM slot; for a lot of British kids born in the late 80s (and a lot of students since), six to seven at night will always be Simpsons/Fresh Prince time, to the point that even the satellite reruns tend to keep them at the same spot.

** Some time ago, in 2009 actually, a new executive at Canal 13 (Vasco Moulián, if you're interested) developed a 'flexible grid', where he would cut, extend and change the programming according to the ratings - in real time, so if a show was running low on ratings it would be cut and replaced with something else on the spot, without a chance to tell anyone beforehand. And if there was any gap in the grid, we got TheSimpsons. The backlash was so big that it cost him his job (despite getting Canal 13 from third to first place in viewership, [[ViewersAreMorons make of that]] [[HumansAreBastards what you will]]). Afterwards, the flexible grid was quietly put under the rug.

** Outside of reality shows, they also love ''TheSimpsons''. It has pretty much always kept its daily 6:00 PM slot [[hottip:*: This is when all the other networks are airing the nightly news. Ten air theirs at 5:00.]] since forever and will often show a couple of other episodes at other times. Mostly on Wednesdays where another two or three episodes might air after 7:30.
