...as it will be THE VERY LAST DAY of broadcast for the one, the only, the original Game Show Network! The channel will celebrate 10 years on the air by changing its name (and, slightly, its format!) to GSN one day later, on March 15!
Of course, several oldies but goodies remain on the schedule, but what with the addition of repeats of "reality shows" (shudder!!), I'm sure the public will very quickly liken New GSN to New Coke.
Chelsea Thrasher:
Well, actually...
March 15th, from 9 AM to 10 PM, the network will still be "Game Show Network". The changeover dosen't happen until 10 that night

And I still say that you are making too big of a deal out of this. If you don't like it, change the channel...it ain't that big of a change.

I'm guessing the public, the REAL public, won't even notice. Not only is the sky NOT falling, but we're taking about a niche channel that most of the planet doesn't even watch anyhow, and it's completely out of the radar of a LOT of folks.
We're a LOT less important than some of y'all think we are, folks.

I have been trying my best to wash my hands of the situation, but allow me to say something here.
I am a bit upset (enraged, no...upset, yes) about the changes to GSN that is soon to take place. However, it is not the end of the world to me. I have known better and I feel that we all should move on.
Besides, I have been content with tape trading for the shows I want, and it has worked. I have been trading for almost a year now, and I have enjoyed many shows that I feel may never see the light of day in reruns again ($otC, Scrabble, TPIR Classic, etc.). Again, one never knows, but hey...
My point is to just move on and enjoy life for all that it is worth. I know GSN has become another sellout channel, but I wish it luck and will go on with other, more important things.
Thanks for your time.
