Buzzr Q4 2024
rwalker:
Where's the 40000 hours of shows they claimed to have?
Wait, I bet many tape are lost or degraded to poor quality. Yeah. I think they've played their cards over 9 years and there isn't much left to run

I wonder how much of an impact Mark Deetjen's passing had on the channel...I noticed that not long after he did, they cut down on the number of shows they had on the lineup, started scheduling more shows in hour-long blocks, and haven't done Lost & Fun to the same frequency as they did before. (Definitely not complaining about what they ARE showing though, '91 Classic Concentration and '84 Barker Price are still absolute delights!)
At any rate, even if they did stick to shows they already have, there's still plenty of stuff they could show. There's still oodles of Dawson Feud they've yet to air, for one. It's just a matter of converting it.
TLEberle:
That's a pity. Obviously someone like a Bob Boden couldn't run GSN forever, but you can certainly see a line where there's acquisitions, originals, specials and such, and what has now become Warehouse Club Brand originals and largely set-it-and-forget-it.
Buzzr doesn't have originals, and they only have one conglomerate to draw from so eventually ten years on everything is going to feel stale, but there was a time where I loved having Sale of the Century as a wind-down to my day at the office, and I wonder how much they'll do. We'll find out.
rwalker:
I'm thinking maybe some of the 80s tapes may have degraded by now too. We know there's several Tpir that were skipped. So the same could be said about buzzr. Aren't there any daytime SOTC they could air? Or did they trash those too?
BrandonFG:
The last year of the NBC run exists, and has aired on both Buzzr and GSN.
