Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Syndicated programs are shows that are sold or distributed to local television stations to be aired during their open time slots. This is different from network programs, which are distributed to affiliated stations of a network, and cable or pay-per-view programs, which are specific to cable networks or require a purchase to view, respectively. Fringe programs refer to programming placed in less popular time slots, not specifically to content purchased to fill open hours.
