I should have indicated that the target reader is the general public reviewing a TV guide. The program is labelled "deuxième diffusion". Canadian context. Rerun sounds familiar but it did'nt come to mind. Thank you all.

repeat


Explanation:
Literally, second broadcast. I take it this is from a tv programme listing, and the programme in question is being shown for the second time. BTW, the above is a noun in this case.

the next broadcasting


Explanation:

Mrs. Lise,

I would translate as "the next broadcasting"; nevertheless, a verbatim translation would be like "the second broadcasting". We have in French "deuxieme difusion du film...".

Best regards,
SCOALB
