Interesting article on GSN

I read the article. Very good indeed. Let's just hope our wishes have been granted!

I think this actually could be a step in the right direction for the network formerly known as GSN.  The wider variety of programming that seems to be popular for other networks could bring in more viewers.  More viewers mean more advertising dollars.  More advertising dollars mean more money that GSN has to spend on its originals and acquisitions.  To get better programming in the daytime would be worth forfeiting primetime in my opinion.

There's another reason GSN isn't giving up the classics they have...the fear someone could start a competitor.  Notice that TV Land holds a lot of stuff they don't air, as does GSN.  

There's also the very good possibility that they could be wanting to start up a second channel down the road (a-la Boomerang, the VH-1 suite, and so on)

Not that I'd hold my breath for it.

The state of denial around here is amazing. [/quote]
Are you really saying that the audience of TPIR is hard core game show nuts?

I think PMfan is exactly right. Price is the perfect show for GSN. A game show, yet it crosses all demographic lines, young-old, male-female, black-white, professional-stay at home, hard core game show nut-casual fan, you name it.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing anything different in daytime that we do now.  I also wonder if GSN will be acquiring any other "game show" libraries at all - especially if game shows are going to be de-emphasized.
