Ever since I gave-up on watching GSN on a regular basis, I've found other good channels to watch. Like "Trio", which is a Rockin' channel ! (Just watched "Queen of a Day" !)

If Mark Jeffries is correct and GSN moves in the direction of Spike TV to get a younger demographic, Trio could stand to take a long look at Match Game and some of the Black and White shows and acquire them for their channel.

Unfortunately for those of us with DirecTV, they're currently in negotiations with Trio (or whoever owns Trio) on a new carriage agreement, and if the two parties can't reach an agreement by December 31, DirecTV subscribers will lose Trio for a period of time.
(At least, that's what I understand from the crawl running across the screen during Battle of the Network Stars and the Miss America Pageant from Monday.)

Is it too soon to call this the MTV-ization of the channel? (Oh, wait, do MTV and VH1 even have 25% left that's given to videos?)

Isn't it Studios USA that owns Trio (wonder if that means you might be losing USA as well)?
Thank goodness for digital cable (except for when it screws me on ESPN Full Court).

According to Trio's Terms & Conditions of Use:
"Trio Network, Universal Television Networks, part of the Universal Television Group (www.universalstudios.com), a division of Vivendi Universal Entertainment (VUE), and all subsidiary and affiliated companies."
Note: I also have DirecTV. (I have been wanting to switch back to digital cable for months!)
