I don't get GSN (anymore, thank you Comcast) and I'm curious to see some of these new "coming up" bumpers. Any way I can see these online? I tried to find them on YouTube but would you believe that's one of the few vids they DON'T have?

That effort contains large amounts of fail:

So did I. I'm afraid to ask where Chris gets these pictures. :-)

Yeah, it's a Farkism, too, but the last couple have indeed been GIS'd.

Switching *back* to "Game Show Network" in their on-air branding would amount to the network admitting they made a mistake in the change in the first place...

Let's think of this another way.  When's the last time you heard somebody on-air refer to CBS as "Columbia Broadcasting System"?  Or KFC as "Kentucky FRIED Chicken"?

We all know what it means.  We know they know what it means.  If GSN doesn't want to say "Game Show Network," what's the big deal?

The latter is a bad example.  KFC has reverted its branding.

Yes, but you don't see the on-air promos using the full name...at least not yet.

The former as well.  WCBS-FM in NYC is currently running a retro blurb containing "Columbia Broadcasting System"
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Saying, no.  Seeing it on the screen, definitely.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

BTW, Don, "The Network for Games" slogan seems to have gone by the wayside--the press releases I've seen lately have the channel's first reference as "GSN: Get Into the Game."

So I guess they'll likely never refer to themselves as "Game Show Network" again.

It's like Sunny Delight thought "Sunny D" was a cute name, so they pushed it as that, and now if you go into a store and ask for Sunny Delight, you may get either quizzical looks or some mind-expanding drugs.

Well, well, well.  I'd stand corrected, but I'd drop my laptop.
