Syndicated Reruns
In addition to its continuation as a weekly series in syndication, Paramount also began offering reruns of Webster to local stations for their weekday lineups; this began in 1987 as well, as Webster had hit the so-called "magic number" of 100 total episodes that most series air before they are sold into syndication.
USA Network aired reruns of the show from September 22, 1997 to March 13, 1998. It also aired on Superstation WGN from September 21, 1998 to September 2, 1999 (which was, to date, the last time that Webster appeared on national television).
Webster also aired on Chicago's local station Me-TV and WMEU-CA (now known as Me-TV's sister station MeToo since March 2008) from 2006 to 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word syndicated:
“It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.”
—Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)
