Uusintajaksoja

Uusintajaksoja refers to reruns or repeat broadcasts of television programs. In Finland, it is common for television channels to air reruns of popular or previously broadcast shows. This practice allows viewers who may have missed the original airing to catch up on the content, or for those who enjoyed the program to watch it again. Uusintajaksoja can span various genres, including drama, comedy, documentaries, and children's programming.

The scheduling of reruns often occurs during times when new episodes are not being aired, such as during holiday seasons, summer breaks, or late at night. Some channels may dedicate specific time slots or even entire programming blocks to reruns. This strategy can be cost-effective for broadcasters, as it reduces the need for producing new content constantly. For viewers, it provides a continuous stream of entertainment and familiar programming. The term "uusintajaksoja" is a direct Finnish translation for "repeat episodes" and is widely understood by Finnish television audiences.
