New-to-BUZZR episodes on or forthcoming
chargeradiocom:
So now that MGHSH is ending its run of new-to-BUZZR episodes, and was generally lukewarmly received at best, what’s our collective best guess as to their future plans for the show? Does it remain a stalwart on the schedule? Or, do they start letting off the gas, then cut it loose when the current deal with MGM is up? Or something else?

That's Amazon now, technically.
I can see them scaling back the airings while not totally dropping it. Longshot (scrreeeeeeeeech, CRASH): they somehow are able to air the skipped episodes in the future. Unless the tapes were lost.
Do we know how the ratings/popularity of MG-HS were on Buzzr? As it's seen 2 times or so most days, they must see something in it.

True, but they still have to honor MGM’s preexisting deals, and they may not want to fiddle with those deals too much at renewal time. But, Amazon being Amazon, who knows.

That’s what I tend to think, at least in the near term. But I’m curious whether it’s more of a gradual dial back, or closer to the LMAD treatment.

Since they don’t subscribe to Nielsen, the publicly available info is limited. But I’d be surprised if they don’t subscribe to some monitoring service, like a Comscore or GfK, plus they probably get some data on streaming from Pluto, STIRR, etc. And I agree with you—given its scheduling treatment, its viewership numbers have probably been better than the social media critics would have us believe.

Prediction: If the MGHSH is *that* popular with the general public, it should appear on Amazon Prime sooner than later along with the other select Buzzr entries.
