Module 1 — The syndication economy

On U-Rock®, a show is not just your airtime — it is a packaged product other stations can license with network credits. You make it once, it airs in many markets, and every carriage pays you: 82% to you as creator, 15% to the network, 3% to the community pool. That split is automatic. Your job is to make something worth carrying.

A station operator browses the Marketplace, sees your show, pays the credit price. The network issues a carriage license, delivers your episodes straight onto their station, and credits your balance. They schedule it on their grid; their town hears your show. No contracts to chase, no invoices — the rails do it.
