Selling the right to broadcast a television or radio program to independent stations, syndication has enabled the modern system of 24/7 broadcasting by providing producers of content with a consistent revenue stream, and stations with enough programming to satisfy their eager audiences.

Today I Found Out will you’re other videos be as terrible as this one? If so don’t bother trying to get people over.
This seem like it missed all the meat of syndication and described all the potatoes.
I would have pointed out the logistics and reasons why syndication exists. In radio each station was a different company LA might have a good radio show and Denver wants to air it too, hence station to station syndication. You didn't even explain that TV syndication has 2 ways. Everyone has the networks already, but kind of like radio everyone has local stations. One local station per region will own the rights to a national network. That is NBC doesn't broadcast nationally on its own, it has 1,000 stations independently broadcasting NBC programs.
What happens is network programs don't have 24/7 content so local networks are free to broadcast other shows in non-network time slots. Sometimes producers of a TV show don't get an offer they like or no offer at all for a show. So they instead make syndication deals in local markets.
Sometimes syndicated shows become so popular a network decides to buy the show. Other times the show lives on entirely in first run syndication. Star Trek The Next Generation is a famous example. One of the most successful shows in history, and it never had a network exclusive, all syndication.
The second kinds of syndication in TV is the one briefly explained in the video this is where re-runs are sold to syndication. Second run shows can be syndicated the same way Next Generation was, that is sold to local stations so it may appear on different networks around the country. Or they can be sold entirely to one channel.
Also not mentioned was classically, though not 100% necessarily, 100 episodes was considered the benchmark for second run syndication. If a first run series got to 100 episodes, they would often then try to sell the reruns in syndication, even while the show was still on air. The Simpsons has seen multiple re-run syndication deals for decades while still airing new episodes.
Syndication is seen as so valuable, that even recently productions have gotten into legal battles with their primary network over that networks rights to show reruns. Too many reruns on the primary network might lower the resale value of the series.
I agree, the video was titled "What Does it Mean", but instead he talked about the history of syndication. There was only about a ten-second explanation of what it actually was, and that still left me a little confused.
Thanks!! It’s actually hard to find a straightforward explanation of all types of syndication online so you summed it up but what I don’t understand is how a reality TV show or a competition reality TV show can go into syndication well let’s say in its second season. I ask because the masked singer was recently sold/started whatever it’s called into syndication. But it’s an illumination competition show that’s also not over it’s still Running. So by your explanation I think it means that these types of shows are syndicated like radio shows? Like not all fox stations in all markets even show that particular TV series? I guess I just can’t imagine a big show not being seen in certain areas of America based on where you live and what your local Fox station airs? How does that work? Anyways if you have time to explain something that’s probably very simple to me that would be awesome if not thanks for info.
Thank you. I found this so much useful than the video.
Definitely more helpful than the video thank you!
I do have a question. If a network buys the show they are in charge of whether it gets renewed or cancelled right? So who makes that decision for syndicated shows that are airing on multiple networks?
My biggest complaint regarding first run syndication on television here in the US…
When the only stations that carry the bulk of syndicated programs these days are Fox, My Network TV and CW stations, thanks to ABC, NBC and CBS stations filling more and more of their available slots with extra, unnecessary newscasts, it’s kind of hard for these shows to build. If more stations got back into the business of syndicated programming, maybe these shows would have a better chance; right now it’s just too many shows, and not enough stations to carry them.
'I Love Lucy' brings in roughly $20 million a year to CBS in rerun syndication. This is important since it was the first series to go into reruns.
Suggestion: Why do we use the word "crush" to convey we are infatuated with someone? "Crush" has become extremely popular over the last decade and should make for a popular episode. Cheers!
Mash was not a big hit until they syndicated old episodes, some stations played old episodes Monday to Friday while the new episodes played on the network on different channels.
Syndication is when the mafia comes in and roughs up the crew, hence the show business phrase "break a leg".
No mention of MASH when talking about longest syndicated in history?
Are you sure it isn't I Love Lucy? That came out in 1951 and MASH was in the 70s. Unless you mean seasons, then that would be Gunsmoke.
Someone please control the thumbnails, i know you trying to make it more interesting and i really appreciate that but can you please also make it more subtle that you are trying to attract viewers... not trying to insult you or anything but trying to provide genuine feedback
Aurox Night they're awful, and it's weird because TIfO already had a consistent, good looking thumbnail style. Totally unnecessary change for the worse
I wish you would have mentioned The Prime Time Access Rule...That was when first-run syndication took off
Love the quality of TIFO's research and production, but these new video thumbnails are a step in the wrong direction. Please move back towards showcasing the content with identifiable visual branding instead of these awful "tricks-for-clicks" anti-patterns. You guys are better than this, stay classy.
Thanks to syndication Jerry Seinfeld is worth 830 million dollars !
I swear to god Simon I could be entertained by you just counting to a thousand.
ew, calm down..
After watching this full video I still don’t know what does it mean when a show get syndicated
Not a patreon sponsor, but I have 2 burning questions I hope you'll get to. 1. Is there really a foreign video game seller that technically owns some of its users souls due to the fine print from an April fool's joke? and 2. Where does the phrase not just whistling Dixie come from?
I prefer the old style of thumbnails
WHY DO I FIND THIS SO FASCINATING?!?!
下佐粉ケイ IT'S A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM WITH HUMANS WHERE WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACTED TO BRITISH ACCENTS!
Can you do why we call removing dust "dusting"
Brian Diehl my head hurts now 😰
Yeah that would be interesting....removing dust = dusting....adding dust = dusting.....I wonder how we even understand each other I was birn English but I learned French also and it is by far easier to learn
Broody kay my main issue eith most other language is the Damn gendered words like for example spanish could have onr letter changr for the same word when written because male female unknown groups etc ughhhh
Haha
jpm42bacongamer yup French is the same and at first it might seem strange but I'm practice it makes sense
I remember watching 'Thee Whirlybirds' back in the 70's.
no mention of the utterly massive Star Trek TNG syndication network that let them dump millions of dollars on a space show in 1988?
For your next video, can you explain why stations and networks that air rerun programming (like TNT and local broadcasters) usually air episodes, and even seasons, out of order?
I would like to hear this, major irritant .
@@kathryngeeslin9509 US television syndicator here. I'm actually going to be doing a video about exactly this that will go live on our channel in a few days. I'll also explain the types of syndication, how shows are syndicated, and how the decisions of order are decided. There's several reasons and they're actually really interesting. -Cory
@@skycron Appreciated!
I feel a little tacky hijacking someone else's RUclips channel, but it's in my direct professional field so I guess it's OK ;) I can either comment here or it'll be on our RUclips channel (ruclips.net/user/skycron) - it'll give you a notification if you subscribe, but I'll still give you a personal headsup here when it's up if you want. Whichever works for you! :)
@@skycron Already subscribed. Overall outside my usual interests, but never too old etc. And I spotted a howling dog and a Siamese cat, good omens.
Edit: notice here would be nice. RUclips has been faulty "lately" on both subscriptions and replies. Though I got notified of both this time.
Great topic idea!
Thank you so much for doing this episode
These extravagant thumbnails are way too funny.
Why is it difficult to study in presence of someone ? Or, rather why does our brain feel the presence of someone even when we can’t see them ?
Reference : “Third Man”
Why does fresh air feel better to breath rather than air conditioned air?
Here is a tip: Talking in videos means no background music. Period. Just because there is a field to reference a background music track doesn't mean you have to use it. You have the volume set nice and low, but it is still distracting and annoying. Volume of bg music should be zero. P.S. I love your videos.
Did anyone else think the ice cream truck was driving down the street while watching this? In my mind I'm thinking, damn they're out early...
They were some big shows back in the day.
Why does the logo get cut off at the end credits of a show when it enters syndication?
Why do we count sheep when we try to fall asleep?
Radio Shows are still a thing?
A-Moss and Andy?
$189 Million for Seinfeld catalog, at $7.99 per subscribers, times 17 million subscribers, in a month, thats over $135 million before taxes and all the company fees and expense, when you do the math hulu makes all that money back in about 2 months.
Simon, the thumbnails! Don't become Ali-A 2.0, please
Wasn't Star Trek: The Next Generation a first run syndicated show?
I still don't know what it means. I thought it's when you get 100 episodes aired
That’s usually the point when networks starts selling shows to syndication, but it’s not in any way a requirement.
MND17 Yeah I usually love these but this episode seemed to gloss right over the actual topic.
I just posted a detailed explanation of radio and TV syndications. But long story shorter:
It's when one owner of a show sells the rights to air the show to someone else.
In radio every broadcast station was a separate company. Though as time has passed they've all been bought up by Clear Channel. Because each station is a different company, if a popular radio show in New York wants to be aired in Phoenix, they have to sell the show to a Phoenix station. That's radio syndication. The more popular a show, the more stations they are syndicated on.
TV has 2 kinds of syndication. 1. A network owns a show and sells reruns to other networks (that's where the 100 episodes come in, 100 was enough to sell a package deal to air all 100, if a show had only 15 episodes, people wouldn't buy it, because it would never get regular viewership.). 2. A show wants to be aired, but no network has bought it, so they go from station to station trying to sell the new show directly into syndication. This can be a pain in the ass, but it can also get a show sold that no network wanted the rights to. Star Trek The Next Generation was like this. In one city you might have seen it on Fox, in another it might be on CBS. Because like radio, TV stations can run their own locally purchased content.
Syndication is when the rights to the show are sold to the individual stations rather than the entire network. Usually, shows get syndicated after 100 episodes, but it is not uncommon for some shows to be syndicated as a first-run series or with at least 65 episodes (5 days a week for 13 weeks).
I would keep your super hero under wear infatuation to yourself.
What an awesome beard!
Wake n bake while learning 😂💨
SageLand Dev I never knew there was a term for what I do
The cast of Friends earn $20 million because of this.
Awesome vids.
WHO KEEPS THE STREET LIGHTS ON? DOES THE CITY HAVE TO PAY THE POWER COMPANY? WHAT IF THEY DON'T PAY THEM?
The word "Syndicate" has a bad connotation today.
Syndicate is a very very negative word. I enjoy this topic a lot. The Media is rough.
With 70 more episodes slated "Rick & Morty" will live forever! Yay
This is because rick and morty got syndicated and no one my age knows what that means. I had the same question.
How is audience measurement calculated ? Like ratings ?
Don't lower yourself to the level of clickbait thumbnails and titles, please.
What was clickbait about it?
Syndication has literally netted billions of dollars extra revenue for shows like Seinfeld

Simon what is BRAIN FOOD ?
does it cost to watch it ?
I learned this from Geekdom101 thanks to DBZ but its nice to get more details on it!!
Hey Simon, love the video. Great job as always. I was wondering what exactly is in energy drinks and are they harmful?
Hi, I was wondering why cats and animals don't get sick from licking themselves even though they're ingesting germs, is it their immune system?
Here's an idea - if you are going to cite references why not include a link?
Can people not just google things instead of having this guy google it for you?
Chris Nope. There's a chance they might correctly pronounce common names. Guaranteed not to happen here. 90+% episodes have at least one well known name that is inexcusably mangled.
All black screen (except for the subscribe button) a minute and a half in...i want to find out why tf
Can you do one about why its called "blue collar" and "white collar" and how it got tied in with crime plz?? Love u Simon!! 😍😘
This got boring fast but at least you didn't steal the topic from Q.I. this time
Bro this was terribly done. I hope you have gotten better since .
Easy Acres or was it supposed to be Easy Aces
So, do the actors get any money from syndicated shows?
Today I found out......nothing. This channel really has gone down hill.
Ache is. It's aces
It's "ay-mos and Andy"
And, while I'm at it:
It's: "a-fore-mentioned".
Not "Affor-mentioned".
I'm quickly going off this channel. Like a lot of others judging by the comments here.
Am I the only one who watched this whole videos and still doesn't understand?
Syndication makes me think of Voltron...

@today I found out what about Radio? 📻
There are many syndicated radio hosts past and present
I still don’t quite get it

Is his head that big, or his body that small?
I’ve always heard of stuff getting syndicated and sorta knew what it was about, but it’s not really a thing here so must be an American thing - thanks for explaining it properly!
This person uses like bots, which means she pays for her comments to get multiple likes.
Timothy Hilditch uses homemade robots to get people to like him.
James Brinkley gave up on the idea of anyone liking him
savagedragon79 doesn't even like herself.
James Brinkley is bad at figuring out gender.
Could not understand still 🙁
I'm still non the wiser.
Hey I remember you guys talk about this in the podcast, it's good to get an in depth explanation. I'm hoping that you can also elaborate on the role of blacks fighting for the confederacy as most sources on this seem extremely devious. I always assumed they didn't really have a say on it as they were mostly slaves but for obvious reasons i've been recently hearing people of hand mentioning the opposite
Thank you, this greatly helped me internalize what exactly "syndication" means. Good stuff!
Easy Wot, Sir?

You should be more specific since nobody knows what you are talking about.
Yeet
Wish you guys had a pattern for this channel or biographics
What do you mean by pattern?
@@TodayIFoundOut He means what he said; read my name, that will explain it MUCH easier for you.
This man talks so slow increasing the playback speed makes the video more manageable
So do you get higher views when you put yourself in the thumbnail?
Are you Moby? Cuz you look like Moby
Great video. But please, for the love of God, go back to the old thumbnail style. The new ones are like the ones generic clickbait trashtubers use.
You don't sound well, Simon.
Are you OK?
Hearts to me
The only reason reason Sendfeld manage to get 1milion dollars per episode is because of memes.
Is this going to get Syndicated ?
this video was 5 minutes too long.
This guy is so boring with how he explains things
You sell it to another network. They pay royalties for every play. You make money. How does someone need a research team to investigate this for you. I love tifo but can we keep the vids for people with IQs above 80?
Hate the thumbnail for this video. Hate it. Hate!
I had no idea what this was until I watched a video about Saved by the Bell.
