Believe it or not, repeats cost money. Everyone involved in making a programme signs a contract which gets them a fee every time something is reshown. In the 70s and 80s a contract generally allowed for two repeats and two overseas showings but with the age of a thousand digital channels things are a little different, hence there are fewer repeats of older programmes these days.

Some charity programmes can't be reshown at all due to the original terms of the contract.

Quite true Ken. I have a friend who made a business out of administering repeat fees for a television company some years ago.
