syndicator

Sells to outlets

A syndicator is a person or company that sells content—such as newspaper columns, comic strips, radio programs, or television shows—to multiple outlets for simultaneous publication or broadcast.

The syndicator acts as a middleman between creators and distributors, handling licensing and distribution so that a single piece of content can reach audiences through many different channels.

In finance, a syndicator organizes groups of investors or lenders to fund large projects collectively.
