What is syndication and why did tv shows used to pump out so many episodes trying to get it?
In: 7
Most TV shows are produced, at least in part, by a television network. Due to the cost of production, the network wants it to be exclusive to them in order to generate ad revenue from the broadcast. After a few seasons, there is a back catalog of episodes that can be sold to other broadcasters for re-airing. This allows the producers to earn more revenue from the program even after no new episodes are being produced.
