Generally, they don't. The networks hold rights to the show, and so CBS won't sell a show to NBC, for example.

You do see this done for international broadcasts. The Simpsons (Fox) runs on Global TV in Canada. This can happen because the large American networks do not broadcast in Canada.

It can also happen for some specialty networks (SyFy, A&E, etc.) that can sometimes buy shows airing on "regular" networks, such as Showcase carrying The Blacklist. But these specialty networks cannot air their shows before or at the same time as the "host" network - they are usually at least a week behind.

Once a show has produced enough episodes (usually 5 years worth) it can become "syndicated", which means it can be sold to other channels. That's why you can still see episodes of M*A*S*H on daytime TV.
