In Canada, Bravo picked it up, so I can still get my fix.

Annoyingly, they don’t play it nearly as often as A&E did; a mere twice a day instead of four times.

TNT seems to only play it once a day – except for twice on certain days.

They had a 24-hour marathon a couple weeks ago, but it turned out they didn’t actually run 24 different episodes! They ran one group and then reran them again!
