ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Syndication exclusivity

Syndication exclusivity means that a certain TV show or movie is only allowed to be shown on one particular channel or platform at a time. Think of it like sharing your favorite toy with your best friend. You might want to keep it just between you two for a little while, so you make an agreement that no one else can play with it until you both agree. The TV show or movie is like the toy, and the channel or platform is like you and your friend. They make an agreement that no other channel or platform can show the same thing at the same time. This makes sure that people have to watch the show on that specific channel or platform, which can be good for business because it can attract more viewers and give a bigger audience to the channel or platform.
