The runaway RTE winner would be Reeling In The Years - it started off as a rip-off of The Rock and Roll Years, with music accompanying headlines, but due to regularly featuring in top-10 viewership ratings, they wound up doing the entire six decades of RTE archives, the entire run is repeated every summer, and a new series is made every ten years! As for the UK, the Simpsons, Frasier and Friends all appear to be shown daily.

Those are all very long series. I wonder if the winner would be a kids programme like Bagpuss which only had about 12 episodes?
Double that if you include the +1 channel
However, the channel's scheduling scheme was so completely random that other episodes were only shown less than a dozen times.
Only fools must be up there too
Dads Army
Columbo
Murder She Wrote
The Simpsons
Come Dine With Me
. . . And on just about every other night too. Is there ANY day when it is not screened on one channel or another?
I Love Raymond.
Birds of a Feather on Drama has been on a constant link, for it seems, forever!
MASH is another show that Comedy Central seemed to have on a constant loop.When they finished showing all the seasons they would start back up again from season 1.
It now looks like True Ent & True Drama are now showing MASH on a daily basis with each channel showing different episodes.
Two And A Half Men
Only Fools and Horses (I like this show but I do think it's repeated too often)
Property and antiques shows
Come Dine With Me
It is on 5 different channels at the moment :- Ci ,ITV3,CBS Reality,CBS Action and Lifetime !!!!!!
Of our home-grown shows, Only Fools and Horses, Dad's Army and Last of the Summer Wine must account for many hours of repeats per year. However, for sheer relentless rotation of very little content, the 12 episodes of Fawlty Towers have been running on a loop on UK Gold/GOLD since the early 90s.
I was going to reply with at least they change the content every day. But more often than not, it's the same as every other day.
