My guess is that they are going to air something from another version. Maybe Dennis James? Tom Kennedy? My gut says that Kennedy would show up before James.
Chelsea Thrasher:
I would be perfectly delighted to see any version of the show turn up.
Wishlist item, I'd love to see them finish off the last 3 years of Cullen's primetime run at some point (they stopped at late 1961).
There ARE Dennis James hosted episodes (and at least a few Bob nighttime shows) that don't feature fur coats as items - although they're comparatively few - if they were interested in doing a stunt and if they're still concerned about showing furs with non-Bob hosts. And if they think they're in the clear on furs as long as no Bob, that opens up ~195 shows with Dennis (as virtually the entire nighttime run does exist)
Then add in 175 episodes of Tom's run - and in theory, they've even got 80 episodes with Doug Davidson assuming no additional contractual entanglements - and there is a LOT that Fremantle could do with Price just on Buzzr without ever once airing Bob (or Drew) on the network. And if THAT version's now in play, then we may well be off to the races (or may just get a rehash of the episodes from Pluto, who tf knows)

This would be my bet personally, but I would still be happy if that were the case. There has to be a lot of Buzzr viewers who don't even know what Pluto is, much less that there's a 24-hour Price channel they can enjoy. So the more exposure they get, the better. That said, here's a time where I'd love to be proven wrong.

Could it be that airing Barker Price is a one-time clearance from CBS for National Game Show Day (since it has been speculated that CBS didn't want the older shows to run on an over-the-air channel)?
MSTieScott:
It looks like it will indeed be Barker Price as a permanent part of the schedule. Buzzr has taken the "Price Is Right Shuffle" promo that ran when the Pluto channel launched, removed all of the Pluto references, and added a bunch of Buzzr logos. Which implies that they'll probably be airing the season 11 episodes that Pluto's Barker Era channel launched with.
