Show Star Tv Shown Trek Convention U.S Television

In the U.S., television programs are owned by the production company, or the company that made the show. This is usually the TV network, such as NBC or MTV. In the television industry, or business, "syndication" is the sale of the right to show programs to more than one station. This is a way for the company who produces a show to continue making money from it. Syndication usually happens after a show is off the air, or no longer producing new episodes, or shows. Syndication can also be done with past seasons of a show. A "season" is a group of shows done in one year, usually 10 to 20. The current season of a show is usually not syndicated until all of the episodes of that season have been shown at least one time.

Many shows like Star Trek, for example, become even more popular after they have been syndicated. ("To syndicate" is the verb; "Syndication" is the noun). With syndication, TV shows can be shown for years after it was originally produced and shown. When a show is shown again on TV, it is called a "re-run." Traditionally, in the U.S., the TV networks show re-runs during the summertime when there are fewer people watching TV. New shows usually debut, or begin, in the fall.
