GameTV - 3 Cullen shows coming in September
Casey Buck:
Starting September 8, GameTV in Canada will be adding 3 Bill Cullen shows to their lineup:
3:30 PM - Chain Reaction
4:00 PM - Pass the Buck
4:30 PM - Hot Potato
Here's a screenshot from their newsletter:
I believe this will be the first time Chain Reaction and Pass the Buck have aired on TV since GSN's "Dark Period" nearly 30 years ago.

Holy sh....well, the universe grants me an early birthday present ;D
Clear indication that Sony's really prioritized the catalogue's digitization and shopping them around.
Ian Wallis:
Wow - that's surprising news!
If they air every episode of all three shows, we'll be seeing more episodes that GSN never got to when they ran them. I believe the only one they completed was Hot Potato; they only aired partial runs of the others.

The newsletter included links to Vimeo clips of each show as well. I'm not sure where in the runs the Hot Potato and Pass the Buck clips are from, but the Chain Reaction one is from fairly close to the end-- the week of June 2-6, 1980 with Gina Hecht, Alison Arngrim, Daryl Anderson and Nipsey Russell, which I believe is well past where GSN got.

The Hot Potato clip is from April 3, 1984, about two weeks away from the end of the civilian run, and whoever it was at Game TV who chose the clip made a WEIRD choice, because that episode has a question about game show hosts.
Pass the Buck is episode #26, from May 5, 1978; that's roughly where GSN left off, wasn't it?
