Television networks are organizations that broadcast television programs to a wide audience. They create, acquire, and distribute content, including news, entertainment, and sports. Major networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS operate in the United States, while others, such as BBC and CTV, serve different regions around the world. These networks often have affiliated local stations that air their programming. They generate revenue primarily through advertising and subscriptions. In recent years, many networks have also expanded into digital platforms, allowing viewers to watch shows online through services like Hulu and Netflix.
