Date: June 25th, 2018 10:34 AM Author: Angry opaque office Loved those shows. They were consciously campy, without being put on. Especially Xena. Fun adventurous romps. Everything today has to be “dark” and perverse (Westworld/GoT). This was the West in a more carefree time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4009765&forum_id=2#36305356) |

|
Date: June 25th, 2018 12:04 PM Author: sticky stimulating plaza gaping Yeah, kind of supports my point.
STTNG almost went to a network instead of syndication. It would've been canceled as quickly as Baywatch |

Date: June 25th, 2018 12:21 PM Author: sticky stimulating plaza gaping like 80% of tv in lots of other countries was jackoff material, so I'm surprised Baywatch got much attention abroad (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4009765&forum_id=2#36305883) |

Date: June 25th, 2018 12:10 PM Author: curious aqua box office Interesting. I was referring to what's known as Off-network Syndication. Wikipedia to the rescue: "First-run syndication In first-run syndication, a program is broadcast for the first time as a syndicated show, and is made specifically to sell directly into syndication[1] (not any one particular network), or at least first so offered in a given country (programs originally created and broadcast outside the U.S., first presented on a network in their country of origin, have often been syndicated in the U.S. and in some other countries);
Off-network syndication In off-network syndication, a program that originally aired on network television (or, in some cases, first-run syndication) is licensed for broadcast on another network. Reruns are usually found on stations affiliated with smaller networks like Fox or The CW, especially since these networks broadcast one less hour of prime time network programming than the Big Three television networks and far less network-provided daytime television (only one hour for The CW, none at all for Fox). A show usually enters off-network syndication when it has built up about four seasons' worth or between 80 and 100 episodes, though for some genres the number could be as low as 65.[2] Successful shows in syndication can cover production costs and make a profit, even if the first run of the show was not profitable.[1]"

Date: June 25th, 2018 12:11 PM Author: sticky stimulating plaza gaping Broadcasting syndication is the license to broadcast television programs and radio programs by multiple television stations and radio stations, without going through a broadcast network.

Date: June 25th, 2018 12:12 PM Author: swashbuckling nofapping parlor It actually predates cable.
Originally, TV series always started out on networks and would then get rerun on low-budget "independent" over-the-air channels that weren't part of a network.
But in the late 80s, it became a trend for shows (especially shows like Star Trek TNG with a built-in fanbase) to bypass networks entirely and just get sold directly to these syndicated channels. |
|
Date: June 25th, 2018 12:20 PM Author: sticky stimulating plaza gaping Yes, but also, network channels are "independent" for 12-16 hours out of the day, and run syndicated shows, too.
I guess daytime talk shows are the only big syndicated shows nowadays. |
