[quote name=\'Strikerz04\' date=\'Oct 9 2003, 11:10 PM\'] O/T: The South Bend Affiliate WNDU has stopped showing Coupling on thursdays and replaced it with Spin City. [/quote]
\"Stopped\" showing it? They never have shown it at all. ND is a Catholic universaity with strict moral values, and Coupling goes too far.
And don't bet on a GSNBC. GSN is treading water as it is, and NBC doesn't give a [BLANK] about viewers 50 and over. Concentration won't work in this day and age.
ObGameShows: WOOD TV-8 (then WOTV) never showed Card Sharks. I had to watch it on WILX-10.
inturnaround:
Corporate synergy is a myth. The companies become too large and stretched too far that they can't even focus as well on the things they did separately.
Besides, most of the business units in a corporation are usually run separately. So if for example Law and Order got a better offer from CBS, it would go there. (I know L&O just reupped with a longterm deal. It's just an example)
Things are much easier to lose in a one big corporation than several smaller ones and things are much more likely to get buried and lost. Including game show formats and libraries.

Also in the NBC/Universal stable of cable networks is Trio...if they were going to rerun any game shows, I have to think they'd go there.
Unfortunately, Trio is nowhere near as widely distributed as GSN is.

How ironic, considering who announced it. :-)

Channel 8 may not have carried CS, but CBS affil Channel 3 showed the reruns at 4:30 in 83-84, right after \"Tattletales.\" In essence, the shows were first run.
