I am a Western fan why does 5USA keep showing the same Westerns over and over. Can you explain why?

Regards
Mike

Mike: I suspect that the issue is that the buget for the channel is limited.

Most of the recent programming ends up on pay channels for several years.

Only older programmes are cheap enough for free-to-air play.

VIVA is coming off Freeview. 5USA will move to VIVA's channel number 21 and Spike will assume channel 31.

Margaret-ann Ellmers: Because it shares its capacity on Freeview with another channel which broadcasts during those hours.

Margaret-ann Ellmers: Because the channel is run by people who have no regard for you the viewer.

They are engaging in a practice often described as LCN squatting.

To keep its channel number - LCN - a channel must transmit for at least two hours a day.

In this case:

56 5USA+1, Sun 08 Apr 02:00 - 04:00: Programmes start at 4am

While:

57 5Spike+1, Sun 08 Apr 02:00 - 03:00: Bellator 197: Budapest

57 5Spike+1, Sun 08 Apr 03:00 - 04:00: Thieves & Thugs: Caught On Camera

That being today's requisite two hours for 5Spike+1.
