Q: Is there any reason why "CSI: NY" is not showing any reruns? I see all the other CSIs but not New York.
There's no easy answer to this one, and there almost never will be because there are so many different factors for why a show is (or isn't) rerun.
On the seller's side, for example, there's who owns the rights, what they paid to get them, what they charge for licensing fees, and more. On the buyer's (broadcaster) side, there's the same license-fee question, but also who they think their audience is (an inexact science) and what they think they want (an even less exact science).
New Releases for the week of June 7 - 13
The Hunt
Gagged, disoriented and afraid, 12 people wake up in a clearing without any idea who or what has put them there. As they untie themselves and begin to gather their bearings, shots ring out -- they're being hunted. Unbeknownst to them, a section of the radical left's elite, led by the ruthless Athena Stone (Swank), have been tracking their digital footprints, choosing each of the 12 strangers specifically for their extremely conservative views and overall "deplorable" behavior. A conspiracy theory passed around alt-right forums is proven to be true: poor, right-wing devotees are killed by rich liberals in a game designed to punish them for their beliefs. Armed only with simple weapons and the guidance of their reluctant leader, Crystal (Gilpin), the hunted do what they can to turn the tables against their torturers.

Outback
Based on a true story, this film follows American couple Wade (Wiese) and Lisa (Lofberg), who plan a romantic trip to Australia on a last-ditch effort to rekindle their dying long-term relationship.

With zero understanding of the aggressive terrain and animals around them, the couple has nothing to rely on but one another to make it through to the other side of the Australian wilderness.
