Network TV airs original programming on specific schedules through major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox), with centralized control and large budgets. Syndicated TV licenses shows to individual stations after their network run, giving stations more scheduling flexibility but less control over content quality.

Network strengths: bigger budgets, consistent audiences, premium advertising rates. Weaknesses: rigid schedules, high production costs, limited reach to niche audiences. Syndication strengths: flexible scheduling, lower costs, can reach multiple markets. Weaknesses: reruns often lack freshness, fragmented audiences, lower ad revenue per slot.
