Interesting (to me, at least) that Antenna TV is still adding affiliates in larger markets. Saw a Facebook post last week welcoming Cincinnati viewers, and that network's been around close to five years. When you look at it like that, I suppose a wait-and-see approach might not be a bad idea.

In Norfolk/Virginia Beach, our Fox affiliate has yet to add a subchannel, so I suppose that gives me hope. :-)

If they're going through that much effort, it seems highly unlikely that any pair of bunny ears will pick it up for me here.

Ran across this by accident... if you're in the Los Angeles area and on Cox Cable, you'll be getting Buzzr on channel 820 starting July 1.

Based on reports and comments I've seen, I don't understand why two weeks in, Match Game is still being run in reverse order in primetime. Like a Twitter user said, it's no fun to see Brett get sober throughout the week.

But it's interesting to see Richard become less and less of a dick as the weeks continue.

I did not see this on the last few pages of this thread. Did we ever find out what Monster Garage and Monster House are all about?

If only there were some means of looking up stuff like that.

Today's Primetime Buzz Match Game episodes were 1149 and 1150 (same order as they aired on Daytime Buzz), in that order, so it looks like they aren't airing in reverse order anymore.

Wonder if they'll just show all the same episodes they've shown over the next 2 weeks in the correct order.

If you're in Lubbock, TX, according to RabbitEars.info, Buzzr is coming to KMYL sometime in the future. It doesn't say when.

I don't know if this is too much of a "dream scenario" than a realistic option, depending on how much time/effort/cost Fremantle would put into this...but with the modern-day "morphing" of TV viewing options (on-demand services, subscription-based channels, streaming devices, etc.), why wouldn't Fremantle consider developing:

1) a streaming channel for well-known platforms...Roku, Apple TV, etc. (maybe even their website) - if it's "free" on OTA TV, why not deliver the same service via online-accessible platforms?  That would be a reasonable execution of a larger-scale rollout.

2) a subscription-based option for video-on-demand content, through the same above-mentioned platforms (possibly offer a live stream of the channel, and supplement subscribers with a VOD feature)

Certainly there's enough content to rotate VOD offerings / maybe offer options that are exclusive to VOD & broadcast completely different exclusive offerings through the regular live channel...it would allow subscribers to have a broader spectrum of live & VOD offerings, while allowing non-subscribers to enjoy the live channel programs (keeping in mind, program offerings would change over time)

The company itself certainly has the resources to do it.  Question is, would it even be considered (to any degree as mentioned above) or is it too "far-fetched"/felt it wouldn't be worth the effort?

She also said they're planning some kind of stunt programming on the 4th of July that she's going to send out a press release on next week.
Cross-polinating from another thread, there's a promo up for the July 4th episodes from the publicity firm. It looks like that's why Password Plus is popping up in the Time Machine slot, because it has an Independence Day episode.

Anyone with WOW! cable in the Chicagoland area (is there anybody else here with it?), take note that Buzzr has been added on Channel 132.

Don't know if it's happening with other affiliates rolling out in July, but Salt Lake City won't get Buzzr until near the end of July because of a delay of Fremantle's part with our local affiliate.

Did Concast manage to assign a channel number in Chicago? I couldn't find it this morning.

According to a post earlier in this thread, it's not being added until July 30th. (on channel 364.)
