Network
Advertiser buys commercial time through the broadcast network (ABC, CBS, CW, Fox and NBC)
Advertiser is “guaranteed” that commercial has a chance to be seen by millions of people; commercial is fed within the body of the program
Networks “presell” their inventory upfront.

Advertisers can now buy time directly in syndicated programming from the program distributor.
This practice provides more revenue for program syndicator/distributor/producer but creates headaches for local station.
