syndicated shows
Widely licensed series
Syndicated shows are television or radio programs sold directly to individual stations rather than distributed through a network.
A station in Denver might air the same syndicated talk show as one in Miami, each having purchased it independently.
Many game shows, reruns, and daytime programs reach audiences this way: The show went into syndication after five seasons on the network.
