Television program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia While television series appearing on TV networks are usually commissioned by the networks themselves, their producers earn greater revenue when the program is sold into syndication. A television series that is intended to air a finite number of episodes is usually called a miniseries or serial (although the latter term also has other meanings).
