Beginning with Season 3, Fox decided to stop airing repeats of each week's episode on its cable outlet, F-X. The decision was made after several local Fox affiliates complained that the repeats were hurting their ratings.

Quotes
Wayne Palmer: [Through video conference] the President is not going to make any decisions until he knows what we're dealing with so give me all the parameters Tony
Tony Almeida: Basically what we have here is a terrorist demand: someone close to Ramon Salazar, we're guessing his brother Hector is demanding his release. If we don't comply, his threatening to initiate an outbreak of a very deadly and fast acting virus
Wayne Palmer: How do we know if these people are really in possession of it?
Tony Almeida: I've got Dr. Sunny Macer on the line. She's Technical Director of National Health Services I'll let her address that
Dr. Sunny Macer: Mr. Palmer, about an hour ago a dead body was anonymously delivered to our office. It was infected with a type three pneumonic virus deliberately introduced into his system. This virus kills within twenty-fours of exposure and there's no known antidote or vaccine. What's particularly disturbing is how fast it spreads. Take a look
Dr. Sunny Macer: [Uploading images of people infected] as you can see, it's latent for several hours but once the symptoms are present it consumes the host rapidly
Michelle Dessler: Our office will be sending you preliminary projections of causalities in case something like this should be unleashed
Tony Almeida: [to Wayne] I've got to tell you, it's pretty bleak
Wayne Palmer: I don't understand this. I mean I thought we "knew" what biological threats were out there? Now do we find ourselves up against the wall so suddenly that something isn't even on our radar?
Dr. Sunny Macer: This is a strain we've never seen. The autopsy is confirming that someone has engineered this virus to kill ten times faster than ordinary genotypes
Wayne Palmer: Ok. I see
Dr. Sunny Macer: Sir, I can't underscore enough how potentially devastating it would be if this virus was released by terrorists
Tony Almeida: Given this information: what options will the President be looking at?
Wayne Palmer: It's the unwavering policy of the United States to stand firm against any terrorist demands. Now I know the President, he will not release Salazar, no matter what the threat is
Tony Almeida: Alright then we can't waste any time on standard protocol today. We've been given five hours to comply, if we're going to find these people and stop this threat, then CTU needs to have every possible resource at its disposal
Wayne Palmer: You'll have it
Tony Almeida: Alright, now if we have nothing else to discuss I'd like to get my team back to work
Wayne Palmer: Understood
Tony Almeida: Thank you
