Buzzr schedule change, Q4
Blanquepage:
Paid programming will replace Whew! & Talk About starting 11/7.
Also, The Newlywed Game "season 1" will begin on 11/9. Wouldn't have expected them to run the Kroeger season and reduce Bob's presence. Eh well.

Seriously? They're not just referring to 1997 as "Season 1" (as in, Eubanks' S1)? Well this will be...interesting. (a certain online commentator said the 1998 season was the perfect combo of what 1996 and 1997 tried to do)
And W! and TA leaving (and MG/HS being scaled back, though they've been doing so with recent changes) makes me wonder about Buzzr's keeping their "forbidden door" open. Are the days of jaw-dropping acquisitions over, and we're seeing a new Buzzr that doesn't care as much about the rarities?

Doubtful since Eubanks' 97 return was numbered as season 2.

When Buzzr last aired Paid Programming and/or the weekend educational crap, didn't they just do that for their Buzzr over-the-air diginets only?
I though the Buzzr website and many of the Roku, etc..etc... streams just aired a 3rd run of some of the previous night's game shows.

Right, there's no paid programming on the digital streams. It repeats the previous night's primetime block.
And when Buzzr first acquired The Newlywed Game, one of their press releases or interviews on the topic mentioned they'd eventually come back around to Kroeger but only after they had ran both of Bob's seasons. How many shows were in the 1998-99 season? They will have only aired 65 (minus a couple of skips) at that point.
