Looks like Buzzr has picked up another affiliate in Kansas City on KCKS 25.10.

Using the syndication model, a show would commonly sell to a broadcast group first, and use that announcement to rally other stations to pick up their show, eventually putting together enough of a collection of stations to make a go of it.

Are you talking about the first-run syndication model? That involves producing new shows with their associated costs. Used to be G-T could syndicate a show with just one sale to one station group. WOF and J! accomplish that very thing with just one sale to the ABC station group. Match Game PM was especially economical: six shows (one nighttime) with six panelists in one taping day. These all involve producing new shows.

The main expenses of BUZZR TV are AFTRA and DGA residuals,  music rights and satellite uplink facilities. No production costs, no prize budget, no technical facilities, no production staff, no salary for the packager and his team of executives, etc.

I wouldn't mind having me a KCKS channel 25 in my market. What a neat use of bandwidth.

Still no word of any major station group pickups, but Buzzr keeps adding teeny tiny stations to its lineup. KGPT in Wichita, KS is the latest. Is this normal for a diginet?

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.
Sorry, I came into the discussion late.  I noticed this (and posted on Facebook) June 17.  Nice to have it available.

According to schedules on TV Titan, the Monster Buzz Block is out and has been replaced with mini marathons of the B&W shows.   It starts with three episodes of To Tell The Truth, followed by 3 episodes of What's My Line?, then 3 episodes of I've Got A Secret.

Buzzr is now airing on Cablevision channel 95, at least here in Central NJ.

Anyone getting a listing from them with episode #'s that they are airing for the week, like GSN does?

And I'm in NYC with Time Warner Cable. So close and yet so far.

For those in San Francisco, BUZZR has been added to Comcast channel 169.

BUZZR's 23rd affiliate, according to RabbitEars: WROB in Wichita, another small independent station.

That just doubled Buzzr's audience :-)

You mean from two people to four people?  :)

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.

So it's not six hours of John Davidson running tomorrow night?

/Have I mentioned he's a mean hugger?

So, do we know what's actually airing in the slot tomorrow?
