Could some one explain that please? For example Oprah and Dr.Phil are on syndication, what does that mean and where could you watch that programme?

When programs are syndicated it means that they basically are put up for sale by the company that makes them, rather than being purchased by a major network. Any TV station across the nation is free to buy them and show them on that particular station. There are a number of first-run syndicated shows (like Dr. Phil, etc.), but the majority of syndicated shows are old TV series that originally ran on network TV. Once their network run and contract is complete, whatever studio owns the program puts it up for syndication and pretty much any station can buy the rights to broadcast that show.
