B&WO Gone?
Ghastly_Gary:
Black & White Overnight is no more. The GSN web site is blank when looking up B&WO and in its place are more infomercials.
Matt Ottinger:
Some of us are disappointed, but I don't think anybody's stunned. B&WO never made one bit of sense from a business standpoint, it was just a favor to classic fans almost certainly arranged by Mr. Boden.
Still, I think this does amount to the end of an era. Black and white classics were part of GSN's prime time schedule originally, and unless something pretty dramatic happens, I think it's safe to say we're not ever going to see them on GSN anymore. While there aren't that many members of OUR forum who make a big deal about them, there's a moderately active Yahoo group and an elaborate database at TV Tome both dedicated to WML?, and the folks there will be particularly disappointed.
Don Howard:
I thought the GSN boss man told Stosh in that exclusive interview that Black & White Overnight would continue. When is this effective?
ADDED @ 4:55pm: I've just been to the GSN web site and while there's no specific program information provided for the 4-5am ET hour, Black & White Overnight continues to be listed in the on-air guide grid.

Black & White Overnight isn't going anywhere! GSN hasn't had schedules for the hour since shortly after it was shortened,plus Password begins early 1/13,and adlink shows the hour at least through 2/29!! :)
Matt Ottinger:
Well, it looks as though my eulogy was premature and my TiVo will happily hum along in the middle of the night for a while longer. It still wouldn't surprise me at all for the hour to be removed suddenly and without warning, but I'm certainly glad to hear that THIS situation was a false alarm.
