Dear all,

What is the meaning of "network television"?

The context in hand: In the "Funniest Home Videos" show, the announcer showed us the reaction of two dogs watching each other while watching the show!!!
after the scene ended, he said "Hey, and this is a network teleivision"

What does that mean?

Thanks a lot.
