Or maybe they just wanted to clear misinterpreted fan speculation ASAP. No major Japanese news outlet had the guts to come out and confirm what the CM supposedly hinted at. They all waited. ANN was, again, hiding behind their favorite word for anime speculations--"reportedly"--but feverish fans obviously didn't know how to follow the situation in a composed manner.
Of course, Kadokawa/NewType could have employed better wording, but even a rebroadcast announcement shouldn't be taken too lightly. It costs them money to rebroadcast an entire series (TV slots cost money), therefore they need a practical reason to go through it. At the very least, they could be planning a Haruhi Blu-ray release, although I'm basing this assumption on Kyoto Animation's third-party distributor's release patterns.
