Buzzr's National Game Show Day (Month) 2026

[gamed121683]

So, I'm watching a Price rerun on Buzzr this afternoon and they played a promo reminding us that National Game Show Day is upon us once again. Not only are they promising over 300 fresh-to-the network episodes this June, but they showed quick clips of Child's Play, Trebek's Double Dare, and Talk About interspersed in this 30 second montage of hosts, winners, and random moments. Schedule changes on the horizon, perhaps?

I didn't record it, but I know this group, it'll show up on YouTube soon enough.

I hope some "monochrome" shows are among the mix. There's plenty of original Beat The Clock and Password that never saw the light of day since they were on GSN.

Cordially,

UPDATE: What did I tell you? I’d also like to make a correction, they’re promising over 400 new-to-Buzzr episodes this June.

So is Buzzr airing fresh episodes of the majority of their shows only 1 month a year now?

I hope they figure out their correct aspect ratio in time for June. Buzzr has been in stretched fake widescreen for the past week on my cable system.

While something may have changed since I last dealt with this, I think the aspect ratio is a carrier choice, not a Buzzr one.

My local Buzzr subchannel has the exact opposite problem; they're taking the 16:9 feed, and forcing it into 4:3, which results in everything looking too skinny.

I've had both problems.  Recently, it's been the 4:3 feed stretched into 16:9.  Either problem can be fixed (for me at least) by changing the allowable video formats to your TV.  Now I tell it 480i is my preferred format, and the aspect ratio is right.  For legitimate HD channels, it still (automatically) uses 1080i, as 480 is incompatible.

Back when I had the 16:9 feed stretched into 4:3, I told it my preferred format was 1080i, and that had the reverse effect, also making it right.

Interestingly, the Buzzr logo looks like the right aspect ratio when the 4:3 is stretched into the 16:9 format...at least to me.  I wonder if this is their new desired broadcast ratio, which is odd considering it's a 4:3 digital sub-channel.  Unless they're thinking of changing that.

With Celebrity Name Game and Carey Price Is Right on the schedule (not to mention all the commercials being 16:9), I can see why they'd want 16:9 to be the default.

Even as a digital subchannel, Buzzr broadcasts at 16:9 in my market.
