Understanding Syndicated Series Scheduling
The question asks for the specific term used when episodes of the same syndicated television series are broadcast from Monday through Friday, consistently scheduled at the exact same time each day.
Defining Stripping in TV Programming
When a television network or station airs the same episode of a particular syndicated series at the same time slot every weekday (Monday to Friday), this practice is known as stripping. This is a common strategy in television programming, especially for daytime and fringe time slots, as it helps build audience loyalty and predictable viewing habits. By airing the same show daily, viewers know when to tune in, making it easier to follow the series.
Analyzing Other Scheduling Terms
Let's look at why the other options are not the correct term for this specific scheduling method:
- Bridging: This term is generally not used in standard television scheduling terminology to describe this practice. It might refer to connecting different programming elements or filling time gaps, but not daily repetition of the same show.
- Stacking: Stacking refers to airing multiple episodes of a television series back-to-back within a single viewing session or daypart, often used for marathons or binge-viewing events. It doesn't specifically refer to the Monday-Friday same-time repetition.
- Theming: Theming involves grouping programs based on a shared characteristic, such as genre (e.g., "Western Wednesdays") or target audience. While a stripped show might contribute to a broader theme, stripping itself is about the daily time-slot consistency, not the thematic grouping.
Therefore, the practice of scheduling episodes of the same syndicated series Monday through Friday at the same time is accurately described as stripping.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
Consider the following statements:
1. Distance between the longitudes becomes zero on North Pole and South Pole.
2. Distance between the longitudes is maximum on the Equator.
3. Number of longitudes is more than number of latitudes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
