syndicating

Selling to outlets

Syndicating is distributing content—articles, comics, radio programs, television shows—to multiple outlets simultaneously.

A syndicated columnist appears in dozens of newspapers; a syndicated talk show airs on stations nationwide.

The term extends to finance, where syndicating a loan means spreading it among multiple lenders to share risk: The bank is syndicating the $500 million deal.
