Paging Mr. Bergeron...

Schedule-wise , what does "Winter break" mean? Limited series of this, Price, and Deal?

(took CBS long enough to do this to cross promote their shows.)

Variety has more specifics on that:

The gamer will run on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET starting in January, paired with “The Price is Right at Night” (hosted by another Drew — Drew Carey, that is) at 8 p.m. and a new season of “Raid the Cage,” hosted by Damon Wayans, Jr. and co-host Jeannie Mai, at 9 p.m. The three shows will air during a midseason break for CBS’ regular Wednesday schedule of “Survivor” and “The Summit” (fall) and “The Amazing Race” (spring).

So....this is being produced for Amazon Prime, but Fox is airing it as a summer replacement? Is that how it's gonna work?

Amazon and Fox have a deal where Amazon produces and airs the show first, then Fox airs each episode a little over a week after Amazon does.

Will there be a difference in how the show looks on Amazon and Fox? For instance, on the Australian version, it's common for host Jim Jefferies to swear like a sailor. I'm curious if we'll get Patton Oswalt dropping the occasional F-bomb on the Amazon broadcast and be completely sanitized for Fox. Also curious if commercial loads will be the same for both Amazon and Fox, or we'll get, say, a "longer" version on Amazon that doesn't fit the hour-long time slot for Fox.

CBS has Drew Barrymore as center square on a new Hollywood Squares this January, with a lead-in from The Price is Right At Night and a returning Raid the Cage.

I always thought it was quite odd for NBC to schedule an hour show at noon. By then, some stations were starting to do news at noon. Looking at old TV listings, this was the scenario for this show in four markets:

Lancaster (WGAL) - Carried only the first half hour. Jumped out for "Noonday on 8" at 12:30.
Washington (WRC) - Carried the entire hour.
Philadelphia (KYW) - Had news at noon, joined in progress for the second half hour at 12:30 (until September when it carried the Group W "Everyday" show at 3, and moved "Another World" to 12:30)
Baltimore (WGAL) - Had news at noon and opted instead for "Bewitched" reruns at 12:30.
