It boils down to the price for TV rights.

You think TNT/TBS replayed SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION endlessly because they loved it? No. Ted Turner got those TV rights for dirt cheap (it was a box-office flop despite Oscar nominations) and hey you need programming to fill out all those hours on your TV networks besides wrestling, Braves baseball. Same reason why they replayed BEASTMASTER and ROADHOUSE into oblivion back in the day.
