Video game programs coming to GSN
Ian Wallis:
For those \"classics\" lovers (myself included), I think the best we can hope for a few years down the line is a \"GSN2\", where the vault/library product would have an outlet. Even \"thericker\" on the GSN boards didn't rule it out.
It just seems that the GSN that was in 1994, is no longer.

--- Quote ---From what little that I've understood in the whole trip to L.A., Game Show Network is scaling themselves away from the "GAME SHOW" genre specifically, and aiming for GAMES in general.
--- End quote ---
In other words, don't count on new Lingo and RR. Read on....
--- Quote ---Also, they are trying to get the younger demographic (Teens and College) to start watching, away from the older demographic that they began with years ago.

BZZZZ! Hang on a minute! Weren't Burt Luddin's Love Buffet, All New 3's A Crowd, and Extreme Gong meant to do the same thing? Uh huh...and how successful were those three again? [/quote]
If this is in fact true, then I for one think it sucks. I was afraid this was happening with "Naturally Stoned" but my fears did not extend to the point of them focusing on GAMES. If GSN is going to become a Video Gamer channel then I will be getting rid of my digital cable. [/quote]
I get GSN on basic cable. I'm thinking of upgrading to digital just to get ESPN Classic and maybe G4 because pretty soon, Sports Challenge, Superbowl of Sports Trivia, and Starcade will be the only classic game shows on TV.

I don't think this will EVER happen. G4 isn't that powerful of a network, and if GSn tried to do that, they'd get creamed, so I don't think that will ever happen.

thericker only said that to get us to shut up. GSN2 can't happen. It was hard enough making one GSN successful.
