Game Show "Channels" On Roku,...Etc... Thread.

Freevee is just merging into Prime Video.  All of the content will carry over (unless it outright expires by then).  A lot of 'Freevee' titles are already available as 'Free With Ads' through the Prime Video app - and honestly, 'freevee' as a brand never caught on anyway so merging the content into Prime and basically serving as a perpetual 'free preview' of Prime Video' works on a lot of levels.

47 episodes of Match Game 77 are on Peacock.

That's.....random.  ABC has the return, this was a CBS show, not a lot of Fremantle links to NBC.  Huh.

Found in my "you may also be interested in" from Match Game was the entire run of George Gray Weakest Link.

There's also a bunch of MG77 on Tubi. Roku Channel, meanwhile, has a bunch of MG75 and the first couple weeks of MG76. They're labeled incredibly wrong though, with a handful being listed from each year the show was on.

Just noticed this morning that the PLEX app runs the OTA stream of Game Show Central that affiliates use and matches up with their online schedule on the GSC site.
 Not sure what other FAST apps do air it that way, but I do know that Pluto does not.
We do not have a local affiliate that offers Game Show Central but recently found one when we traveled.

FYI, Plex isn’t running the OTA feed. It’s a different schedule entirely. The OTA feed doesn’t run the big name/syndie shows (Harvey Feud, 25 Words or Less, Deal or No Deal). Also, the OTA feed runs a few shows that don’t stream on GSC (GSN’s versions of Newlywed Game and The Chase, Hey Yahoo, Caroline & Friends, probably a few others. At least that’s accurate as of right now).

The Game Show Central feed that Plex runs is the same feed that pretty much all the FASTs run, except Pluto for some reason. Pluto has always run its own GSC schedule as far as I’m aware.

Here’s the OTA schedule:

Hope this clarifies!

Holy cow. That's crazy that there are at least 3 different "feeds"/versions for the channel. Very confusing.
I just assumed it was the OTA feed since it matched up to the website Schedule. I guess that site does show apps and doesn't mention OTA affiliates. That's nuts!
I never watched it enough on vacation to notice if the off network shows were on it or not. I swear FF was on it one day but that could have been on 10 other channels. Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea.

For Wheel - 1998-01 means the Mr. Rogers episode, two absolutely sublime Hawaii trips, the ceremonial 3000th show, the first Retro Week, the absolutely bonkers 2000 Halloween show (Richard Simmons, Tara Lipinski, and Alex Trebek play in costume/character), and delightful 2000 Christmas ep (a two and a half minute credit roll featuring nearly every single show staffer on camera) - plus Charlie O's final shows and the 2010-11 announcer auditions (at least the ones not overdubbed on the master) in s27, while the last set as mentioned includes Vanna's stint as host and the final pre-COVID and first two post-COVID seasons.

For J! - 2003-05 covers Ken's stint as superchamp and the Ultimate Tournament of Champions, 2010-11 has the IBM/Watson challenge, while the last stint has James Holzhauer's run, the 2019 All Star Games, and more.
