Author Topic: Game shows return to iON (Read 1891 times)

While flipping through the channels earlier tonight, I spotted what looked like a FF rerun on Ch. 31 (the iON affil. here in NY), so I flipped back and sure enough, they're double-running eps from O'Hurley's first season from 7-8 PM...just thought it was worth mentioning.

Just a thought, but would be nice if they could pair it up w/the 80s Lingo, considering it was one of the classic shows viewers were encouraged to vote for sometime last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if no one at ION can recall that there was such a survey.

I'm not surprised that ION doing ANYTHING is a surprise.

This would be a good time to dig into a non-GSN area for game shows like Viacom or Ralph Edwards to sweeten the game show pot on ION. Think of some older game shows that we know GSN won't be getting anytime soon that we've loved

The programing "strategy" at ION basically consists of sticking Mama's Family at 8p, and drawing random shows out of a hat to air around it.

At least they chose Quantum Leap as one of those random shows.

Wasn't this mentioned in another thread?
