Question About Program Guide

When you see an "R" beside the program name in the program guide, does that mean the show is a repeat?  Gourmet Holiday today at 4:00 p..m. EST has an "R" beside it, and it's on the main QVC channel.  I've seen other programs on the main channel with an R lately.  I'm surprised the main channel would have repeats if that's what it means.

@NickNack , Do you mean ® ?

QVCs use of the phrase Today's Special Value and some of their show titles are Registered, so other retailers can't use them.

@x Hedge   No, it's (R), just exactly like that.

Re: Question About Program Guide

@NickNack , anywhere there's an (R), the +More Info includes the ® symbol

 

From the program guide:

 

   Make every day a Gourmet Holiday® with delicious sweets, meats and treats delivered right to your door - or some else's!....

 

Her solution - IT Cosmetics®!....

@x Hedge   The small "R" in the circle means the name of the program is a registered trademark.  I don't think that's the symbol to which @NickNack  is referring.

She's referring to the (R) in the programme guide. As I wrote upthread, everywhere there is an (R), there is also a corresponding ® (for registered) symbol next to the program's show title or featured vendor in the +More Info description.
