America Says enters syndie game
colonial:
In a bit of a surprise, Deadline is reporting that GSN and Sony will offer "America Says" for first-run syndication this fall.
Deadline says it has already been picked up in 85% of U.S. markets.

I read the story a couple unless I missed it nothing says first run.

I don't think a large company like Sony would distribute reruns. Most of your cable shows that go into syndication (i.e. Pawn Stars) are distributed by smaller outlets. I can't think of the last cable show to make the leap to first-run syndication...I think Baggage was reruns.
Is NATPE still a thing, or at least as big of a thing compared to 20 years ago? It just seems odd for a syndicator to announce a new show just three months before the fall season.
Also, is 25 Words or Less with Meredith Vieira still going national? If so, that would bring us to about a half-dozen syndicated games.

With the departure of WWTBAM, timeslots opened up.

I saw Nexstar listed as one of the companies...Thinking WHTM in Harrisburg will plug in AS at 12:30 to replace FYSA.
