[edit] Grammar?

Anyone want to make sense of this sentence?

Baywatch aired on NBC for one season and was cancelled, but became very popular in the U.S. with new episodes in syndication and extremely popular worldwide) and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which debuted in 1987 and became one of the most-watched syndicated shows for the next seven years.

[edit] Can you syndicate to cable?

The article says that Jesse was syndicated to USA Network. But the rest of the article says that syndication is selling a program to multiple stations, not to a single network. Is there any reason to keep this example? --Metropolitan90 04:23, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] International context

I've tried to add a little context to the intro, but this article is woefully fuzzy as to whether most of the content is general or U.S. specific and I'm not an expert on television so I can't do more. 62.31.55.223 04:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First-run syndication of programs orginating outside the US

Editors of this page may be interested in joining the discussion at Category talk:First-run syndicated television programs. The issue being discussed is whether it is appropriate to categorize a show whose first airing in the United States was as a syndicated program, but which previously aired on a network in its country of origin, as a "first-run syndicated television program". All opinions and thoughts are welcome. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:45, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to update the external link since the old one doesn't exist anymore.

[edit] Clearer

Clearer! Definitely can be understood by my version 143.235.208.120 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough; the problem wasn't with the "network" text, but with the grammatical errors in the first part. As such, I've just fixed them and left your "network" mention. (The phrase "that is broadcasts" was incorrect, plus we have to word the line so that it doesn't suggest that the programming is broadcasting itself.) Hope this helps explain things. --Ckatz^chat_spy 23:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Off-network syndication

From my understanding of the term, "off-network syndication" should also refer to programs first aired in networks with limited coverage in one country, sold to stations outside the network wherever the network is absent. I've created one in the newly-made Malay article on broadcast syndication, this time set in Japan rather than the US; below is the English translation:

TXN is the smallest among the commercial TV networks in Japan, having only six affiliates covering 13 prefectures and prefecture-level territories: TV Tokyo (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Gunma, Ibaraki, and Tochigi); TV Osaka (Osaka); TV Aichi (Aichi); TVQ (Fukuoka); TV Hokkaido (Hokkaido); and TV Setouchi (Kagawa and Okayama). Anime series produced and aired by TV Tokyo such as Pokémon and Naruto would definitely be aired by TV Tokyo's affiliates in the TXN network, whilst in areas without TXN affiliates, TV Tokyo's anime would be syndicated to stations either independent or affiliated to other networks. E.g. in Iwate prefecture, Pokémon is aired on Iwate Menkoi Television (a Fuji Network System affiliate) while Naruto goes to Iwate Broadcasting Company (a Japan News Network affiliate). Interestingly, stations are not required to air a programme simultaneously throughout Japan. Again in Iwate, IBC airs Naruto on Sundays 6.15 am, three days after TV Tokyo on Thurs 7.30pm.
