Real money is in syndication

Hello, I'm reading a short article and meet with this sentence:

"real money is in syndication"

I looked up "syndication" in dictionary, but I'm still unable to understand it. It's from http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/interviews/adalian/page9.shtml

Would someone please how to understand both the word "syndication" and the sentence here? Thank you in advance!

Hi, Putting a TV series into syndication refers to making it available to independent broadcasters. When a TV series is first produced, it is normally sold to one of the big TV networks. After the series has been shown for the first time in this way, it is often sold to various independent broadcasters (ie small TV companies), who show it lagain often late at night or every weekday afternoon.
