M-Net movies are generally licensed for a 2-year period, with a repeat of 10 times per channel, i.e. M-Net, M-Net Movies and M-Net Movies 2. Themed broadcasts require special 2-month licences. Pre-recorded specials are generally licensed for 1 year. Direct feed channels, for example BBC Entertainment, Discovery, or National Geographic, follow international standards which offer a shorter license period with generally higher repeat rates.
