As a broadcast network, Buzzr will be required to air a certain amount of educational and informational programming each week.

I wonder if they could justify "Blockbusters" and "Trivia Trap" as programming that meets those requirements.

Fwiw, KDKA labels the local high school quiz as E/I, so it's not out of the question, I guess.

Though I would imagine that this was already thought out as part of the channel's conception.
This signature is currently under construction.

I could swear I saw Saved By the Bell reruns labelled E/I.

I've always thought one of the networks should use the Hit Man conceit of showing a video and asking questions about it for the basis of a Saturday morning E/I kids' game show.

You did. Always seemed odd to me.

The show that is the oddest I've seen to get an E/I label to date is on Cozi-TV:  "The New Howdy Doody Show", which airs on Sunday Mornings.  The show is more running gags and slapstick comedy than education.

Honestly, I'd like to see that.

Wow, 6 days before launch (as of this typing) and they still don't have a schedule together. Kinda makes you wonder if Buzzr is pulling a "The Quad" here.

I can make out most of the voices in this clip except the first one..."you're in control of the board...".  Who is this and from what show?

Bob Bergen, JEP!

As for the Nextstar thing, they own the ABC station (WJET 24) and operate the FOX station (WFXP) under LMA with Mission here.  Hoping to see Buzzr here!

The Quad right now has hit a snag with mergers.  The directv/AT&T merger has to be straightened out before this launches.

Thanks for posting, Greg!

Looks like the 8am-2pm block then repeats again from 2pm-8pm (same with 8pm-11pm, repeating from 11pm-2am). Are they the same episodes as well? Just a general question, if you know. If not, no worries. Nice to finally see it. Thanks again!

Not really any huge surprises (unless they pull out the Australian Press Your Luck or something :P), although Child's Play and Body Language did raise an eyebrow given their short runs compared to everything else in that lineup. "Buzz Til Dawn" definitely brings to mind GSN's old Black & White Overnight lineup, too.

Definitely curious as to what E/I programming Fremantle has in mind for the weekends.

One would certainly assume they're repeating, along with the later 3 hour repeating block and the even later 2 hour repeating block that they might as well call "Black & White Overnight".

I also have no reason to believe that the two hours that start the programming day aren't the same ones seen later.

(On preview, to Dan -- I just assumed Child's Play would be their E/I.  They can show it six times a week and be covered.)
