This is an event where a network will run multiple episodes of the same show back-to-back for an extended period of time. It can also take the form of running all of the movies in a given franchise back-to-back. Often done as a promotional event. A popular series will marathon all previous episodes prior to the start of the newest season. The release of a new film in a franchise will be preceded by a marathon showing of all previous films in that franchise. In addition to providing publicity, this gives the audience a chance to get up to speed with events in the show before they jump into the new season. Sometimes, it's also done with really, really popular shows to crank up the overall ratings. Since the mid-2010s, this practice has become a lot more common as cable networks try to cater to the concept of "binge viewing"; the idea of being able to have your own marathon using video-on-demand services such as Hulu and Netflix. Sometimes overlaps with Adored by the Network. Not to be confused with actually running a marathon. |

For about 20 years, the New Year's Eve prime time lineup was always the three That's Entertainment! Clip Show films followed by the spinoff That's Dancing! in the wee hours of the morning. For December 31st, 2021, they tried something different — running those movies in the afternoon, then featuring the run of The Thin Man series in prime time/late night. The latter, at least, returned to see out 2022. (Back in The '90s, the original run of The Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers held this slot.) | |

Cartoon Network Latin America is fond of this too. If you want to talk about New Year's Eve, for example, for three years in a row (during earlier 2000s they went a little step further: 24 hours of Pokémon and one of those years it was 48 hours! Special mention goes to the 2004 New Year's Eve when they not only premiered Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends but also changed their Powerhouse era look into their then-new City look. | |

On September 12, 2015, Disney Junior aired a marathon of all of the Sofia the First episodes and specials that starred the Disney Princesses up to that point, which wrapped up with airings of the Little Einsteins episode "Brothers And Sisters To The Rescue" and the movie Brave to promote the four-part Secret Library episode, which starred Merida. Disney Junior also runs marathons of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Mickey and the Roadster Racers whenever a classic Disney character celebrates their birthday. The Japanese feed of Disney Channel also does something similar, but will air a special movie related to it (for instance, running Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas during Mickey's birthday). A rather infamous example of this is the network's annual "Red, White and Bluey" marathon, which airs nothing but episodes of Bluey on Independence Day despite the holiday in question being about America's independence from Britain, and the show in question being Australian. |

There have been marathons of The Venture Brothers, Bleach, Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse, Squidbillies, The Boondocks, Futurama (every episode one after the other, right before its license expired), Family Guy, FLCL, Bob's Burgers, Rick and Morty and even all four Inuyasha movies. An April Fools marathon of Perfect Hair Forever played all seven episodes in backwards order with bad subtitles. Let's not forget the Election Day 2004 marathon, in which they showed the same episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law 24 times in a row. According to the rumors, the Futurama one was a Take That! at Comedy Central, which had just gotten the license - they were attempting to make people sick of it. |

On New Year's Eve 2016, TV One ran a Good Times marathon, and COZI TV ran Starsky & Hutch all day (following it up with a Columbo New Year's Day marathon), while Comedy Central rang in 2017 with Drunk History.

They also tend to do this with their PBS Kids Family Night block, where the movie or special in question is usually followed by a marathon of episodes from the show the movie is based on. For example, whenever D.W. And The Beastly Birthday airs, it's followed by two hours of Arthur. If it's something like The Gruffalo that isn't based on a PBS Kids show, they'll play a marathon of an older show like Clifford the Big Red Dog, Sid the Science Kid or The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! (with the latter being the most frequently shown). And on some occasions when they don't feel like showing a movie (usually when a show has new episodes that week), the whole block that evening will be a marathon of one particular show. | |

For many years New York station WWOR-TV had a tradition of airing King Kong (1933), The Son of Kong, and Mighty Joe Young back to back on Thanksgiving Day, followed by several Godzilla films on the day after Thanksgiving (the station's owners, RKO General owned the films from the days RKO was in the movie business, which eventually were passed on to Universal when they bought WWOR). Fellow New York station WPIX used to have their own holiday tradition as well, running 12 to upwards of 25 hours of The Twilight Zone (1959) on Independence Day. They also air marathons of The Honeymooners on weekends and bigger holidays like Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, and have taken to airing blocks of ''Friends on Saturday afternoons, as well. |

In 2016, this marathon was retired, and was replaced by another now-annual tradition: a four-day marathon of three of TBS' original shows: Angie Tribeca, Search Party and The Detour, sandwiched by airings of New Year's Eve. TBS did show a four-hour marathon of Family Guy on New Year's Day, replacing Married... with Children and The King of Queens's timeslots that morning to make up for the absence of the annual marathon. | |

One of these marathons, a one for The Boondocks, was significant for airing two episodes of the show on American television for the first time, which were banned after legal threats from BET (as the episode contains several jabs at the network's expense), and one episode that was rarely aired due to Tyler Perry not being pleased with how the crossdresser in the episode was a jab at his Madea routine (this episode also aired when he had two shows on TBS, [as]'s sister network). | |

In 1997, they decided to do a 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve as a ratings stunt. It was so phenomenally successful that either TNT or sister channel TBS has done it every single year since then. Some years have both channels marathon the movie at the same time (albeit on alternating hours). In recent years, however, the appeal of the marathon has started to wear thin with many viewers, though sneaking earlier broadcasts is just asking for it. |

When The Monkees began airing in reruns on pre-Network Decay MTV in February 1986 (The group's 20th anniversary), it was launched by a weekend marathon featuring every Monkees episode. The marathon proved to be so successful, that the Monkees regained an entirely new generation of fans, and Monkeemania was offically reborn. This was followed by several concert tours, a new album (Pool It!), a Spin-Off without any of the original cast (The New Monkees) and a top 20 hit single ("That Was Then, This Is Now"). | |

WPIX (a NYC-based superstation that's also the city's CW affiliate) sometimes pulls out random children's shows to put on during the mid-morning or middle of the day. For example, in 2010, they showed a Sonic X marathon on a Friday in 2010note Oddly enough, even though the series was already airing on the CW's Saturday morning block Toonzai, the bug in the corner was WPIX's logo rather than Toonzai's, and in 2014, they aired an hour of Rock The Park. note This showing was justified, though, as marathons of All in the Family and The Honeymooners on the Saturday after Christmas cut the One Magnificent Morning block short. | |

CN was also fond of Pokémon: The Series marathons, the most notable consisting of select episodes of the entire series up to that point as a way to usher in the "Diamond & Pearl" season, with Trivia bumpers in between (such as why Meowth learned to talk). | |

The BENELUX version of CN had (and maybe still has) a special block on Sundays (that airs every Sunday, not only once a month) called 60. It is a block during which content of one single show would be shown for 5 hours straight (from 8 am to 1 pm), with no pauses in between. As you could guess it became the go to place to see anything that was ever adored by the network. A few shows on that block were Codename: Kids Next Door (which was the most common show to be featured on that block) and George of the Jungle. | |

Prior to the release of Casino Royale (2006), the films of the James Bond franchise were marathoned. In fact, whichever cable channel currently has the rerun rights to the films does this on a fairly regular basis. They were marathoned on TBS and TNT in The '90s to the point that in American Beauty, Lester complains about having to go to the basketball game to watch his daughter in the cheerleading squad because he's missing one of these. In honour of Skyfall and the 50th anniversary of the franchise, the British premium movie service Sky Movies turned an entire channel into Sky Movies 007 in October 2012 (it took a break in November for Sky's annual all-Christmas movies channel, until returning for a time in January 2013), which aired Bond films and documentary features. |

TBS airs Family Guy for around four hours every Monday night. They also ran all three Star Wars parodies back-to-back to promote the 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace. During Christmas 2014, they dedicated the whole week's programming to Seth MacFarlane shows. They also had a Seth MacFarlane marathon on Martin Luther King Day 2018. A marathon consisting of twenty episodes handpicked by Seth MacFarlane aired in April 2019 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show. |

This also tends to happen on Canadian channels, mainly youth-oriented ones. For example, YTV had a one-off event in 2007 they called "The Marathon of Marathons", spanning from Boxing Day to New Year's Eve. It strung together several marathons of their most popular programming such as Spongebob Squarepants, with a day-long marathon of family-friendly movies squeezed in somewhere. On New Year's Day 2008, it was followed up with a marathon of pilot episodes for the first day of the year. | |
