GSN & Digital/Basic Cable
trainman:
I believe the first two major cable operators to agree to carry GSN on all of their systems were Marcus Cable, which put it on analog, and TCI, which put it on digital. Neither company is still in existence, but I don't know if that's entirely GSN's fault.
(TCI became AT&T and then Comcast, of course, and the former Marcus systems are now various other companies, including Charter in southern California and Insight Communications in Indiana.)

Well...when we had Comcast, it was on the basic tier on channel 75, then 71, and that was over 5 years ago, now! (Wow, it only seemed like yesterday when I finally woke up one morning to the clapping of Card Sharks...ahh...the memories...)
*shakes head* Oh....anyway....
I received GSN on basic until Winter, 2001. That was when Adelphia took control of much of this region, and GSN was not only off the regular tier, it was off entirely for a while! I had it at my dorms in Spring, 2002, when GSN was added to the basic tier for Charter Communications. Some time late last year, GSN was back on the digital tier in Ontario; I finally got digital cable this summer, when the PYL Vertivision blocks begun, incidentally. So I've had it off and on the past couple years. Not too bad. =)

GSN was dropped on 161 here and moved to 66 (where I think it's always been on analog.) The good news is the new station doesn't have to split with the PPV anymore.

[quote name=\'urbanpreppie05\' date=\'Dec 1 2003, 10:12 PM\'] Time Warner of Akron/Canton used to have GSn on channel 105, but about 1 1/2 months ago, it moved to channel 67. [/quote]
It's actually also in channel 67 here in NJ, where we have Cablevision. It's been on basic cable for about 6 months or so here.

I'm adding my 2¢...
In Milwaukee, it is on digital cable channel 160 (well, the last time I had it, anyways). However, when we went to pick up our new car in West Bend, it was on the basic tier.
Did somebody say "irony"?
