Claim: Strip programming, which can refer to shows which are broadcasted at prime time daily, was one of the primary profit component in American television.
Evidence: It can also refer to shows in prime time that run daily, such as with the short-lived The Jay Leno Show in 2009 and 2010. For much of the 1960s and into the early 1990s, stripping for syndication was one of, if not the primary profit component of the studio production model in American television. A show became far more profitable if it succeeded in getting three full U.S. seasons (about 75 episodes) or more, as then it was possible to strip it for fifteen weeks (15×5=75) before needing to repeat episodes.
