Missing repeat flags

Given the last few posts in this section, I would like to add that I have found other shows without repeat flags.

It feels like the number of shows in prime time missing repeat flags has increased (never mind outside those time slots) and that removes some value from the guide for me.

I hope this can get fixed or at least the level of errors get reduced.

Any chance of a response to my post?

Hi Gary

Sorry, I replied in a different thread (there seem to be two garys on the forum).

The problem seems to be that the default for ongoing series (eg. Law & Order, CSI) is to have no repeat flag. This is because the networks alternate between new episodes and repeats, and also because an episode showing may be a repeat for Sydney/Melbourne but not for other states.

I have let our schedulers know about your concerns, so that they keep a closer eye on repeat flags, particularly in primetime, in the future. This should improve the matter. 

Cheers
