I put this in the same category as non-premium cable networks airing movies or
doing marathons of shows. Sure, they're on DVD/Blu-Ray/etc, and probably
streaming somewhere. But if someone's looking for something to watch on the
TV, and they see a movie they like, some people will watch through the edits
and the commercials rather than get out their disc or switch to the streaming
app. Presumably that's enough in some quarters to make purchasing the rights a
value proposition.
Similarly, if someone's watching a Freeform original, and The Office comes on
next, I bet Freeform is gambling that enough people will stay on their channel
to make the rights fee worth it.

It streams for free any episode, any time, any day on the Peacock app. How can
there be any value in “linear” syndication?
