Is there a special term or can I just use "subsequent broadcasting"?

Rita's and David's answers have thrown up some very interesting points!
I always believed 'time-shifting' meant as David suggests, but the few hits it gets on Google all seem to be referring to the much more recent phenomenon of viewers' being able to choose at what time they watch a given programme -- started with home video recorders, and has now moved onto hitherto unimaginable levels of sophistication! So I guess my appreciation of the meaning of the term is just plain out of date!
On the other hand, Rita's suggestion of 'delayed broadcasting', as indeed backed up by the glossary reference, is interesting, inasmuch as Googling for the term throws up a vast majority of hits that are NOT about 'time-shifted' broadcasting (as I previously understood it), but rather about 'deferred relays' --- in other words, merely the televising of 'live' events with a (sometimes quite small) time delay.
So it seems that out there in cyber-space at least, there is a certain confusion over the use of the term, and so maybe Mary will need to be particularly cautious about how she's going to translate it unambiguously in this rather crucial contractual context!
Bon courage !

subsequent broadcasting
sounds fine. There doesn't appear to be a specific term in English for "non-live" broadcasting.

"Recorded or live
One can distinguish between recorded and live broadcasts. The former allows correcting errors, and removing superfluous or undesired material, rearranging it, applying slow-motion
Slow motion is an effect resulting from running film through a movie camera at faster-than-normal speed. After recording, when the film is projected at the standard speed, action on the screen seems slowed down. The effect is often used in coverage of sports events, such as diving, to demonstrate skill and style, or to recapture a key moment in a ball game. These scenes are often shown as a replay.

time-shifted broadcast
I think "subsequent broadcasting" is too broad, suggesting that repeat programming is included. The whole point here, IMO, is that broadcasting the series a few hours later for DOM-TOM prime time does not count as a repeat broadcast and does not incur repeat fees.
The term I suggest seems to have several different meanings, but might do.

: Yes, you've hit the nail on the head EXACTLY here; I believe this is the term traditionally used when referring to similar situation when broadcasting across US time-zones... Sadly, I've had to downgrade to 'Neutral' - please see my added comment

: I think this is it; I was too hasty in my first answer. Indeed, the text doesn't talk about the diff. btwn live shows and pre-recorded documentaries, for example, but alludes to the fact that ALL material might need to be broadcast w/ a time delay in DOMs

différée
In French the term 'différé' has been used as an antonym to 'direct' (live) in television language. A possible English translation would therefore be 'taped', a variant of 'recorded' which has already been suggested. The idea is that what is being broadcast is not taking place simultaneously (or being broadcast at the same time for everyone in a given market), but has already happened (or been broadcast in sections of that market earlier). Mentions such as 'taped programming' or 'recorded earlier' often appear on American television.
Another possibility, if several broadcast times are scheduled due to different time zones by a single broadcaster (the buyer of the rights to the series, say), is 'staggered'. Merriam Webster's defines 'to stagger' as follows : "to arrange in any of various zigzags, alternations, or overlappings of position or time." This term emphasizes that broadcasting of a given program is not reaching a whole market (a national market) simultaneously, but gradually, by increments —which works well with the idea of time zones.
