I have to ask:
“Reruns of the News”… ???
Yeah, that’s a thing here, they’ll rerun the 10pm news at 1am. 🤷
Ok, when thinking way back, they might have done something similar here 30 years ago or so.
Don’t think it is a thing today anymore.
But I have not been watching linear TV since the mid-00s anymore though, so may be mistaken…

“Hey how long have these reports on the economy been sitting here?”
Oh boy. The news is on.
Aw shucks. It’s a rerun.
Well, at lease this was a good episode.
Reruns must always contain a large block of text before the rerun begins, And it must say, “Previously, on The News…”
Ours just says “Previously Recorded”, but yeah.
My wife likes to listen to podcasts.
And often I find that the podcasts she listens to are about things that I’d followed closely in the news weeks, months, sometimes years before (we just have some different interests, she’s actually probably the bigger news junkie than I am)
But so I’ve taken to calling her podcasts “late news” because she’s getting that news later than I did.
It’s really just recent history.
Pastnews might be a more marketable name.
The first time they rerun a storys it should be referenced as a “new olds” or “new old news”, the secon time as “old new olds”, and so on.
What reruns? I’ve never seen reruns.
“It’s not news, it’s olds, bong”
新闻旧闻 (Character for “New” (新) replaced by Character for “Old” (旧))
(Not sure if official dictionary word but I just made it up in my head)
