I can’t really see them running full episodes with edits that blatant. For the most part, Fremantle has been pretty good to run their shows with minimal, or at least reasonable, edits. Not to mention that egregious edits like that would go over with the fans like a lead balloon.
Another matter is that the TV rights agreements don’t necessarily carry over to streaming rights. As it’s been explained to me, that’s why a lot of retro networks that lease their content, like MeTV & Antenna TV, don’t stream—the rights agreements between the networks & program distributors for TV don’t necessarily apply to streaming. Whereas that’s not the situation for networks like BUZZR & COZI, where the parent companies own most of the content they run, & the shows that do have a leased component probably came recently enough that streaming rights were explicitly stated in the contract.
Perhaps this is the situation if Barker has any say on the TV rights (which IIRC we don’t know for certain). I could see Fremantle & CBS agreeing not to run fur-era episodes for philanthropic reasons, but the other Janice/Dian/Holly eps being fair game for streaming. And regardless of whether Barker has any say on the TV rights, if he or his people try to make an issue of streaming them, Fremantle & CBS could rightly tell him to pound sand.

It will be interesting to see just how many episodes they will run at a time before they start re-running them once or twice (like Buzzr does).
Some of their other retro channels that feature one or more shows with multiple seasons (CSI NY/Miami/Cyber, Happy Days/L&S/M&M) also show only so many from one or two seasons before playing them again.

Okay that answered my question elsewhere about how much of the runs they use.
Now are they DVD prints, meaning the signature butchering of music on CBS's part, among other things?
Kniwt:
OK, this was finally enough to get me to install the Pluto app on my Fire TV stick. But I have to ask: Do many of the commercials have extra-loud audio? It's annoying enough that I have to turn up the volume to hear the show, but then I get pummeled every time there's a break. And it's not just on the TPIR channel; the main Buzzr channel does the same thing to me. (Some of the ads appear to be inserted based on one's location, so maybe it's not universal.)
