Okay people this seems like good question, and it's in the right dicussion board:
Let's say for example, that the always-assumed lost ABC Password tapes showed up in the same way the Classic Hollywood Squares tapes showed up, if you were the head of GSN, and they are also included in the G-T Library, (Unlike TPIR & FF '94) Would you air the show regularly on the network, leave them in the vault, or put a group of 10-16 shows together and do a marathon?
My response:
Noticing that none of the other versions of the show (P+, SP and CBS PW)
are on the air, it would be a hard decision to air it regularly, unless there's a way that it would draw big ratings. So I'd run a marathon and base the decision on the ratings (this is also considering that all shows are converted and airable)
and then put it on the schedule. if it was a failure, then at least everyone got a chance to see the show and put it in the vault.
Man, that seemed hard to do, anyway feel free to add you input in on it.
