*It's got nothing to do with the acquisition of something like Price is Right as of now.
*It's got nothing to do with a spin-off channel
*It's got nothing to do with the Fremantle debacle.

It's just more got to do with programming and scheduling and why The Money List is on when it is, as it stands right now.

No, and even if TPIR goes off from the CBS schedule, you're not gonna be seeing any form of TPIR reruns anytime soon.

And you say this...why, exactly? Unless you got inside info, you have no way of knowing what kind of deals could be struck in the future.

I'd say the announcement is something to do with "The Money List".
Probably something like "It's offering the biggest bonus round jackpot in GSN history!" or something like that. Isn't Roggin himself in on a discussion about the announcement over at the GSN boards? If so that means it's probably about that show. I don't read there often, and when I do I just scan thru the crap. I read something about "it's going to change Saturday nights forever". Either all that or some weekend type call-in-and-win show.

And it says the news isn't about getting TPiR "as of now". That probably doesn't mean anything, but it's just oddly worded.

/remembers when people said PYL would never turn up on GSN.....

Steve Beverly and Mark Evanier have frequently mentioned the B&W shows on their sites; this may have gotten them some unlikely fans. I had a reader on Live Journal who loved the B&W shows, even though she was totally not the typical demographic -- female, 18-24 age group.

I know some people on the TCM boards who also enjoy(ed) the B&W shows, because they enjoy seeing the old stars, especially in the "Mystery Guest" segment on What's My Line; they too aren't the typical game show demographic.

Over on the GSN board, one thread started wandering into what cable networks besides GSN might be a viable home for the black & white shows. I suggested TCM for exactly that reason.
