Does anyone out there know where I could find how much it costs to air a TV show?

For example:

A friend of mine thinks that the only reason the Cosby Show gets more airtime than Cheers is because Cosby is cheaper to broadcast. I would think that since Cosby garneshes ratings then it wold be more expensive.

If anyone out there could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jon

About a million dollars for fancy props and the setting probably. It depends on what props they use for the show, and Cosby didn't use that many expensive props. That's the best answer I could come up with. :D

I was looking for the cost to syndicate a show.

Cosby is an example, but I was looking for costs to syndicate in general. I'll look up N@N.

Thanks,
