Wasn't just Affairs, that sort of thing I referred to happens in other categories as well on occasion.
I think it was stated that the hosts of other quiz shows that were popular in the 1970s, 1980s and to an extent the 1990s almost certainly get little if anything in repeat fees. Gordon Burns confirmed this that despite the amount Flextech/Virgin/Sky (and ITV) raked in from sales and repeats of Krypton Factor over the years, he literally gets sod all from that because IIRC the programme was only intended for one, maybe two airings at the time and probably would never be seen again.
Not sure if that's still the case these days, though I suppose Bradley Walsh doesn't really need any more money from the amount of time Challenge airs The Chase - that and the ITVX Fast channel for it...
