Broadcasting syndication is the licensing of the right to broadcast television programs and radio programs by multiple television stations and radio stations, without going through a broadcast network.

It is common in the United States where broadcast programming is scheduled by television networks with local independent affiliates.

Syndication is less of a practice in the rest of the world, as most countries have centralized networks or television stations without local affiliates; although less common, shows can be syndicated internationally.

The three main types of syndication are "first-run syndication", which is programming that is broadcast for the first time as a syndicated show and is made specifically to sell directly into syndication; "off-network syndication", which is the licensing of a program that was originally run on network TV or, in some cases, first-run syndication (colloquially called a "rerun"); and "public broadcasting syndication".

A crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or a rectangular grid of white and black shaded squares.

The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues which lead to the answers.

In languages that are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom.

The shaded squares are used to separate the words or phrases.

A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that identifies the site.

A magazine is a publication, usually a periodical publication, which is printed or electronically published (sometimes referred to as an online magazine).

Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content.

They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.

At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location.

In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles.

This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines, artillery magazines, firearms magazines, and, in French, retail stores such as department stores.
