the channel that you watch the television show on is called a television network. The television network (NBC or FOX or CBS etc) pays for and produces the episode, and airs it on their channel trying to get as many viewers as possible. The network makes money by selling advertisement time during commercials. the more viewers a show has on average, the more advertisers will pay to have their commercials appear on that network. If another tv channel or tv network wants to have episodes of that show on their channel, they have to pay the network that owns and made the show to air it on their network. This is called syndication (reruns)
