I have the weekday schedule (eastern time) from Fremantle's PR reps! Still waiting on word on the weekend schedule, but I'm told it will be very similar with some E/I programming thrown in.

6AM/6:30A Family Feud
11A/11:30A Family Feud
5P/5:30P Family Feud

While it is not listed as to what version(s) (Dawson or Combs) will occupy these three hours, at least it's not Harvey*!!!

They'll be Anderson, Karn, O'Hurley, and Roker. :P

On a bit more serious note, it's possible (not too likely, though) that the slots could include Family Feud Challenge and/or the "Dawson's Return" season, both of which had two distinct "halves" per hour-long show.

the even later 2 hour repeating block that they might as well call "Black & White Overnight".

While that's probably the safe way to bet, we don't know for certain that those will be the classic episodes.  Frankly, since absolutely every classic WML? that GSN has aired, plus great big gobs of TTTT and IGAS, are freely available on YouTube, I was personally hoping to see the syndicated versions of those shows, which for the most part have not been as readily available.

Apparently the Family Feud airings will include more than one host, but my contact didn't know which ones or which ones will air when. She'll let me know when she finds out.

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 hate when when I pull my quad.

Go see Kurt Angle, then...apparently he pulled it this morning and he's here jumping around.
I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

This looks like a good solid schedule to start off with! I was honestly hoping for Now You See It to turn up, but I'm pretty happy.  Can't wait for July!!

Wow - this really reminds me of GSN's early days.  I wonder how long Match Game and Press Your Luck will continue to air on GSN.

Nice lineup...hopefully more stations join the list by the end of the year. I'm really not missing cable too terribly right about now.

Agreed.  I saw this kind of lineup on GSN years ago but would love to see it again.  Unfortunately no station that I can receive will be picking this up at the beginning.  Hopefully before too long I'll be able to get it.

I was hoping for NYSI and syndie WML and TTTT. But this schedule looks pretty good to me.

This also brings up a hope of mine, that may be unlikely. If Black and White episodes of IGAS are run, will they be episodes spanning the entire run or only episodes after the end of the Winston era. Plus, will the few episodes of WML and TTTT sponsored by cigarettes be skipped, or simply have the cigarette mentions edited out (which is what GSN did for WML, at least)? I'm curious as to how they'll handle it, if they do, or what exactly the rule is regarding it.

A nice starting schedule. I absolutely love the panel shows and the time they're at. My sleep schedule is all over the place right now, so that's a great time for me. Granted, this schedule could change by the time the station becomes available in my area (although, I'm about 45 minutes from an area where it is available).

Nice work, snowpeck.  It's too bad sitcomsonline posted the schedule without you getting credit.

Over-the-air broadcast stations are forbidden to run tobacco cigarette advertising, so there can't be any promotion of those products.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

One idea I had regarding that...why not offer the cigarette episodes for download, or sell them on a MOD DVD? That way fans could still get their hands on them, and they avoid any repercussions they would have got for airing them. I'd certainly pay to see them.

1) It's not worth the cost.

2) It's not worth the backlash that may come with trying to monetize the videos.
