I'm curious about the extensive lineup of syndicated shows. I always thought syndicated shows only allowed to be broadcast (outside of cable, of course) on a per-station basis, and that's why the other networks don't have any in their feeds. Is this a loophole springing from the fact that Ion owns all its own affiliate stations? Or are they just the only network desperate enough to air syndicated shows in the first place?
