How do they differ and how do they work together? Are there instances where both overlap?

HBO, Showtime, and Starz are all TV channels. You could say that channel surfers are looking for things to watch on TV. But what they’re really looking for are good old-fashioned TV shows. And that’s where TV distributors come in. TV distributors are the ones who actually get the shows from the networks and deliver them to your TV set.
