Tom Kennedy was supposed to have hosted that one.  It was a Wink Martindale Production through Access Syndication (that was the company name) that didn't get enough clearances to make it a go.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

The info I got came from back issues of TV industry trade publications of the era.  I couldn't find anything regarding the format of the show.  I'll keep looking and if I find anything, I'll share it.  Feel free to do further research on your own as well and share whatever you may find, if you so choose.

Ol' Bobby was on KQRS on Friday.  It didn't take long for that line to come waltzing out.

I did find one small blurb regarding "Eavesdroppers" on page 61 of the December 1987 issue of "TV Facts, Figures & Film."

"Eavesdroppers combines traditional game show elements with comedic overtones," explains Ritch Colbert, president of Access Syndication.
