Programmes being shown on 2 Channels at the same time

A couple of days back i noticed that they have started playing the Mr. Bean live action series on Nickelodeon. Having watched an episode i then switched on to Paramount Comedy to watch Frasier to then see it being advertised on there as well for 10pm that night.

Have any other programmes done this? Apart from the obvious rights differences in terrestrial/digital tv showings, and of course programmes like Futurama being shown on every Sky channel, have other programmes done this?

Like the Rockwell file beening shown on ITV / BBC at the same time

Or, the obvious - Paul O'Grady.

The UKs will often run Have I Got News For You on different channels at the same time. I recall once Gold, Gold+1, G2, Documentary and Documentary +1 all playing out a different episode of HIGNFY.

Gold and +1 could be forgiven though, as Gold may have been running a marathon, therefore episodes appearing on both channels.

Surely +1 channels don't count, do they?

Well technically schedules would have been created with +1 channels in mind as well (Big Brother's schedule on E4+1 not clashing with C4, for example), so they do really.

o right didnt realise this thanks

Soccer Saturday is on Sky Sports News and one of the main Sky Sports channels and tomorrow it is on Sports HD as well so 3 channekls broadcasting the same programme at the same time.

Yeah, but that's a simulcast.

Well, Nick and PCC always were linked together, in the olden days at least.

It's a first for Mr. Bean, as I do not think it has had a proper repeat run since it was originally broadcast.

Not only is Mr Bean being shown on two channels, but they're running them in exactly the same order - so one Mr Bean episode airs on Nickelodeon, and then the exact same one airs on Paramount that night.

Quite interesting, really - it's like they've aimed the repeats at both kids and adults.
