TCM will celebrate the life and career of actress Doris Day with a full day marathon of her most iconic on screen performances.

TCM on June 9 will offer a 24-hour, 13-film tribute to the actress and singer who died today (May 13) of pneumonia at the age of 97. Movies starring Day that are part of the marathon include Romance on the High Seas, Tea For Two, Love Me Or Leave Me, Please Don’t Eat The Daisies, Pillow Talk and Move Over Darling, according to the network.

Day, who starred in 39 feature films and earned an Academy Award nomination for her work in Pillow Talk, had a lifelong love of pets and founded the Doris Day Animal Foundation in 1978, according to TCM. 

Weigel Broadcasting's Decades TV also plans a Doris Day salute. Starting Saturday, May 25, at 1 p.m. ET, Decades will air 68 episodes of her 1960s sitcom The Doris Day Show, showing them back to back through Monday, May 27 at 7 a.m.

Also, Decades TV Network will honor the life and career of Day with a weekend binge of 68 episodes of The Doris Day Show beginning May 25, according to the digital broadcast network. 

New York – Binge watching, a buzzword just a few years ago and one of the catalysts of subscription video on demand in its infancy, is starting lose its cachet according to a panel of top media executives at a Paley Center for Media event here Thursday.

While bingeing on entire seasons of shows in one sitting isn’t going away entirely, it no longer appears to be the badge of honor that it once was, Discovery Communications’ Group President Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and Science Channel Rich Ross said at the Paley Center for Media’s 2015 Paley International Council Summit here Thursday.

“About six months ago, you stopped hearing about it that way and there was a return to this obsession and fascination with watching something and being able to talk about it the next day,” Ross said. “To me it is what is fueling a lot of my ratings, where I realize it matters to them that it was on Wednesday night. And it did not have to be an event like Shark Week, it could be an episode of Alaska Bush People.”     

United Talent Agency co-founder, partner and director Peter Benedeck said that is good news for content developers. He added that shows like HBO’s Game of Thrones are a prime example of what the industry used to call “water cooler” programming, or shows that viewers like to talk about around the office water cooler on Monday morning and speculate what may happen next week.

Benedeck said shows that are set up to be binge-viewed don’t have that advantage, and he pointed to one series his agency has been involved in, The Crown, slated to debut on Netflix next year.

“The point is that on a given day, 10 hours of that show will be dropped on Netflix and three days later the buzz will be gone,” Benedeck said. “On a Monday morning I walk into a staff meeting at my company and people want to talk about what happened on The Affair, they want to talk about what happened in that episode and wonder what might happen next week. Shows that by definition are going to be binge-watched don’t get the opportunity for people to feel about them that way. Orange is the New Black was Orange is the New Black for about a week. And then Orange is the New Black was moving on. And that’s too bad.”

He added that is why sports seem to do so well for networks; they can’t be binged.

“Imagine if the Pittsburgh Steelers played all their games on tape and you could watch the whole season in one sitting?” Benedeck asked.

Ross added that some shows are already becoming appointment television for some viewers and with the proliferation of original content, that can only get bigger.

“There are three hours of Shonda Rhimes shows on Thursday night that everybody knows are on Thursday night,” Ross said. “If you watch all the seasons of shows at once, then you go back to, ‘Oh, there’s nothing’s on.’ That’s part of the dilemma that marathon or binge programmers have.”

Those who missed the first season of WGN America' s initial orginal scripted series Salem, or want to relive the supernatural skein will have their chance on April 4.

WGN will encore the show's entire, 13-installment rookie campaign beginning at 7 a.m. (ET)/ 6 a.m. (CT). The marathon will serve as a lengthy primer for the series' second-season bow on April 5 at 10 p.m. (ET)/9 p.m. (CT). Check out the sophomore season trailer here.

In Salem, the witches may be real, but they are not who or what they seem.  Season two opens at the dawn of a Witch War in 17th-century colonial Massachusetts.  As the disease and devastation unleashed by a deadly supernatural ritual spread through the war-torn village, Salem's most powerful witch, Mary Sibley, must face off against adversaries old and new who are vying for her throne.

From creators and writers Brannon Braga (Cosmos, 24) and Adam Simon (The Haunting in Connecticut), Salem stars Janet Montgomery (Human Target, Made in Jersey), Shane West (Nikita, ER), Seth Gabel (Arrow, Fringe), Ashley Madekwe (Revenge), Tamzin Merchant (Jane Eyre), Elise Eberle (The Astronaut Farmer) and Iddo Goldberg (Mob City). 

New cast members this season:  Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess, Spartacus), Stuart Townsend (Betrayal, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Joe Doyle (Raw) and Oliver Bell (The Saint).

On Epix, it's all about unwrapping Bond, James Bond, on Dec. 24 and 25.

The premium service will serve up a two-day marathon on the famed spy franchise on Christmas Eve and Christmas. With apologies to George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan, viewers can see Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig portray Ian Fleming's celebrated 007.

The event will also feature an encore presentation of Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, the documentary chronicling the evolution and impact of the Bond movies.
