Final answer:
Shows like Judge Judy and Entertainment Tonight, produced for direct syndication to local stations and broadcasters, are examples of (Option B) first-run syndication.
Step-by-step explanation:
Shows such as Judge Judy and Entertainment Tonight that are produced specifically for the syndication market without being originally aired on a network fall under first-run syndication. These types of programs are created with the intention to be syndicated directly to local stations, cable channels, or other broadcasters. Judge Judy, for instance, is a court show that has been successfully running under this model, reaching viewers through various local stations rather than being tied to a particular national network's schedule.
First-run syndication differs from off-network syndication, where shows are syndicated after originally airing on a network, and reruns, which are simply repeat broadcasts of previously aired content. Additionally, special-purpose syndication and network-supported syndication do not apply to this type of original programming created for the syndication market.
