unsyndicated

Kept from networks

Unsyndicated describes content—typically television programs, radio shows, or newspaper columns—that has not been sold for distribution to multiple outlets.

An unsyndicated show airs only on its original network or station: The pilot remained unsyndicated after poor ratings.

The term implies limited reach compared to syndicated content, which appears across many markets simultaneously.
