A sad list, indeed.

Cable networks have done away with the need for local stations to carry first-run series in syndication, like it was in the late 80s through the early 2000s (Baywatch, Forever Knight, Highlander, Psi Factor, Friday the 13th - The Series, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, etc.).
 
The first run shows in syndication are one thing; for the much larger number of off-network series with an inventory of at least 100 episodes you probably want to check the websites of the major syndicators out there today. CBS (which now owns the Paramount library), Time-Warner, NBC Universal, Disney/Touchstone, all are sources for product they either originally produced or own the rights to now. Check their websites for their current inventory.

Actually ion and my network tv could lease their prime time out and run first run syndicated shows and get very good clearance for these shows but their content to run repeats for now.

Their websites generally do not list the programming that they have available in syndication -- at least, nothing like a comprehensive list of all of their library product. At one time, CBS did have such a very comprehensive dedicated website with all sorts of information on programs in their library (including number of episodes, running times, availability of syndication edits, whether the show had been converted to HD, and episode lists), but they pulled the site a couple years back. CBS Television Distribution's current website is far less detailed, but still seems to be better than anything I've seen from the other big studios.
