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!
