The syndicated audience for shows like CSI and Community has been declining as viewers flock to streaming services like Netflix and Amazon.

I thought this post was going to be about all the retro stations. There are tons of reruns there. I hope to keep seeing COZI, METV and ANTENNA TV.

Pay-TV is losing their subscribers in droves. I guess they got fed up with high prices and having to cope with all the commercials tossed at them, not to mention the fact that shows are hacked and slashed to make room for all those commercials. :angryfire

Burn Cable, Burn!

Also, I think the shows in syndication have been shown to death.

I think it's because the shows that are aired are on every other cable channel. The channels need to buy shows that aren't already airing on other channels. People want variety.
