GSN's reason for giving up Marshall HS

<< < (8/11) > >>

sshuffield70:
Locally, GSN was moved off of ch 161 (digital) to 66 (analog).  I waited to post it because I wanted to be sure it was 24/7.

Radiofreewill:
Q1 cable channel 56.

GSN Gives Up Original Hollywood Squares Package
 
"We had a limited amount of programming slots available and we had to choose between the new and old version of The Hollywood Squares," a GSN spokesperson said. "So we went with the newer version because it is more contemporary for our viewers now. More recognizable actors on that show."

 They likely gave up those episodes since they get the current run of HS more-or-less for free via Sony (I recall the rerun rights to Bergeron HS going to GSN as part of the settlement for even creating this version)

The eps they're airing are definately new-to-GSN since they have the ultra annoying HS logo on the screen and they're from the 2002 season (one wonders when they get through them if they'll go to the 2003 fonz-produced eps which I haven't seen)

I wonder which cable system would win the award for having GSN on the lowest position on the dial...:) [/quote]
This (if the link works) is the channel lineup of Altrio Communications, the "overbuilt" (second) cable system in Pasadena, California.

If GSN is on a channel number lower than that on any other cable system, I'll watch six hours of TTD '90. [/quote]
 If I am not mistaken, the timeshare we were staying in on Kauai last month found GSN in the channel 40-something range.  However it shared channel space with one of the C-SPAN channels.

That's not lower than Channel 6, so I guess I won't have to watch TTD '90.

Actually, GSN used to be on a fairly low-numbered analog channel on my cable system (Adelphia, formerly TCI, San Fernando Valley, CA):  Channel 37.  Except from 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M., when the Playboy Channel was there instead.

Once Adelphia got around to enforcing their "family-friendly" policy on this system, that GSN/Playboy channel was replaced with the Travel Channel.

GSN was also available, and is still available, 24 hours a day on the digital lineup, in the familiar Channel 161 position.

(Now that the Rigases are no longer in control of Adelphia, Playboy is back, as a digital channel only.  Cable systems make a lot of money on adult pay-per-view.)
