BUZZR cutting down on infomercials?

<< < (3/3)

chargeradiocom:
Since this got bumped anyway... STIRR has also picked up the new infomercial-free feed, as has the BUZZR website. Still, none of them have updated their program guides for the infomercial hours as far as I can tell, except for Roku Channel.

One interesting thing is that this new feed gives BUZZR a chance to run alternate programming on their online feed. Aside from the infomercial hours, they’ve already done this once, with the Dawson Feud marathon on July 12. This was promoted on social media as part of Pluto’s “31 Marathons in 31 Days” stunt this month (as far as I’m aware it was never promoted on-air), but the marathon also ran on Sling, STIRR, etc. It will be interesting to see if they use this to experiment with other online-only programs. (Perhaps it will be a way to backdoor Barker TPIR onto BUZZR?)

On a side note... Game Show Central is also scheduled to be part of Pluto’s “31 Marathons in 31 Days,” with International Day of Friendship on July 30. I haven’t seen a schedule, but presumably Friend or Foe will be a big part of that day’s programming.

The stream on the Samsung TV Plus app on their Smart TVs still has the informercials...we had the Life Alert this morning as well...

Glad that the Roku Channel has picked up Buzzr as one of their 'live' channels.  The random pregnant pauses at the top and bottom of the hour on PlutoTV's feed has been annoying and I have not been able to get STIRR to work right in their live TV grid on either of my TVs since an app upgrade several months back (One is a RokuTV and the other a Roku stick)

Plus the RokuTV feed (for now) has a lot less annoying commercials per break than the STIRR/PlutoTV streams.
