GSN & Digital/Basic Cable
Jumpondees:
I just read something in my mailbox today....snail mail that is...
Comcast here in Pittsburgh is moving GSN off the Digital Cable and on to the Basic Cable service. GSN is currently on channel 161 and come Wednesday it will move to channel 52.
Obviously, this would be a great move ... People who don't normally get Digital will be able to watch GSN, and thus possibly increas viewership....I realize it won't be much, but still it's an increase....
Now my question is this...How many people get GSN on Basic as opposed to Digital?
From what I've read over the past few years between here and over ATGS, it seems that a lot of cable ops put GSN on thier Digital service ... it just kinda seems odd that all of a sudden, the channel gets moved from Digital to Basic.

All 3 and a quarter years I've had GSN, it's been on basic for me.

Hehehe, maybe I convinced enough people with the commercial I shot for them in April: (Shot of me holding enormous check) "Hey Pittsburgh, I am so glad Comcast came to town, because they brought Game Show Network and the Get Schooled Tour, where I just won $10,000 for college! Thank you Comcast!" :-p
On another note, to my knowledge, GSN is on digital channel 161 in Oil City, PA, and analog 74 in San Luis Obispo, CA.

I've had GSN 4 years today. For the first three years, GSN was on the basic tier--channel 76, then 50. Since about this time last year, it's been on digital channel 144.

I did have GSN on basic cable through Charter Communications on Channel 65. Then when I moved 2 years ago, I moved into an area that carried Time Warner (now Bright House Networks) and GSN was only on their Digital Tier at channel 104.
