Except, they're skipping a whopping 20 episodes, also you want to take note, everytime Buzzr gets a new set of episodes of Color WML, they tend to cut out the panel intros, and sadly it seems that they continue with this trend, making the duration going under 19 minutes even. For those who have any of the 20 skipped episodes (#1742-#1781) in your collection or any of the episodes Buzzr aired should be from the GSN airings in particular. The go-to guys for those are Jamie Locklin(aka blanquepage), Chris Nadle (aka catnap1972), and Imad Khuri.

Nice to see Concentration getting an upgrade. Besides the fact that BUZZR is apparently pleased with its viewer numbers, 7:30 is usually not a great time for me personally to watch due to life stuff. So I’ll probably be able to more often catch the 11:00 repeat before bed.

And don’t forget, this also means another showing at 6AM on the “new” stream for the early risers.

Also, I wonder if that 7:00 MGPM is a sign that more schedule shuffling is coming. Two & a half straight hours of Match Game is an awful lot for a 5-day-a-week block, and sticking another episode at 7:00—even if it is technically a different series—feels a bit filler-ish to me.

I am an early riser - can someone please clarify what is meant by the "new" stream?
Thanks,
Ryan.

They recently modified their stream such that instead of infomercials, viewers can now get game shows—usually prime time repeats—during those hours. Pretty much all of the relatively big name streaming services that carry BUZZR now run this “new” feed—Pluto, Sling, STIRR, Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus—as does BUZZR’s own website.

Some of the smaller streaming services (like KlowdTV & NKT.tv, as far as I know) still carry the old stream that straight mirrors BUZZR’s broadcast & still runs infomercials early mornings.

There are a few other differences with the “new stream” (i.e., a catchy jingle during commercial breaks if the Pluto/Sling/etc. ads don’t fire off. They also ran a couple “new stream“-only marathons in July, so they may do special events with it on occasion.) But most of the time, viewers probably won’t notice those differences.

Thanks for the heads up!
I have Nkt.TV for my Roku and I enjoy it... for a good number of months I was watching CC at 1pm Eastern on my computer... but in the last few months the stream keeps buffering.  However I might want to give it a try for early morning Concentration!

Glad to help!

I should mention that my comment about the 6AM Concentration assumes they stick with the pattern they have now of repeating the first two hours of primetime. They don’t post the stream-only morning repeats on their schedule page & could always change it without warning.

But, provided they stick with what they’re doing (& the announced forthcoming schedule doesn’t change), Concentration will repeat on the “new stream” Tuesday-Saturday at 6AM ET.

I apologize if this was posted elsewhere, but does anyone have a direct link to the new feed? I had the old one that I used to paste into VLC so I could record the stream.

The link I use for VLC is...

...though you can remove the "720" part if you want a different video resolution.

Asking about the NKT.tv app. Is anyone having issues getting BUZZR to stream? It's very choppy lately and unwatchable. I reinstalled the app and still the same. The other channels do stream just fine.

TIA!!

Request : Has anyone recorded all of them , that I could talk to for sharing? Would love to have a few DVD's of this, if possible.

Thank you in advance.

Can't help with the DVD side, but check your PMs.

So, in addition to WML being new-to-Buzzr eps. as of this morning (really, microfilm?), the OTA schedule now has paid programming where TTTT was (This is not reflected on the PDF schedules) and they reran the same ep. of SOTC this morning that they aired Friday morning.

The web schedule still shows TTTT tomorrow morning. Could have been an one-off/rare occasion, like those infomercials that have aired Saturdays around 7PM. Still, with it being excluded from that "Breakfast with BUZZR" promo, I wondered if something was up with the 8AM hour.

Did TTTT still air this morning on the web stream?

I got a Classic Concentration episode there.

The problem is that my guide shows infomercials in all of TTTT's slots for the next two weeks.

I’m seeing that now on the guides too, even though BUZZR’s website still has TTTT. I’m guessing it was sort of a last-minute change—though I still think the promo dept. may have heard that something was up.

With the new infomercial OTA morning slot, BUZZR has apparently added the 7:30 PM show to its morning streaming repeats & pushed the prime time repeats back a half hour. So here’s what “new” streamers are now seeing, Tuesday-Friday at least (ET):

6AM Sale of the Century
6:30 Concentration
7AM Let’s Make a Deal
7:30 Supermarket Sweep
8AM Card Sharks

Of course, all this could change by next week.

On a side note, Pluto’s program guide is now showing the program titles in the infomercial slots, instead of the “24/7 Game Shows” banner.

EDIT: Apparently on Saturday, they’re still repeating the 8-to-11 programs from the previous night (so Concentration runs at 6:00, LMaD at 6:30, etc.), then looping back as much as they get through until E/I & Split Second time. So I made that correction above.
