If Oprah Winfrey can have her own cable channel, why not Steve Harvey?  ;-)

Steve Harvey Inspirational Television.  Can't wait to see it abbreviated in the grid.

In the future, television will only be Steve Harvey and football.
This signature is currently under construction.

I admire the audacity of the sales force.  Selling the same product to THREE different cable channels, while the show is still being offered in first-run syndication, takes a special kind of smooth.
With his talk show and double run of Feud, it's possible for someone to see him on network television 15 times a week.

When you factor in GSN, and now TVLand and BET reruns of Feud, in addition to his old sitcom being rerun on Centric (think BET 2), his amount of appearances on TV start to reach astronomical totals.
Don't forget that some markets have a double-double run of Feud (the other double run being shows that are a season or two old). It looks like Centric is going to be running Feud as well in the afternoons.

Just saw a promo that Harvey Feud will also be airing soon on BET.

True, but at a very early time: 8am EST, starting on the 29th as well.

That puts Steve in conflict with his nationally syndicated morning radio show.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

That's big trouble for the people that are federally forbidden to watch TV and listen to radio at the same time.

Once the schedules get sorted out, I'd be interested to see just how much Harvey Feud someone could watch in one day in a given market on live TV. 6, 8 hours maybe? WPWR in Chicago is now doing a quadruple run from 5-7pm.

For a game show with a prize budget of probably $40-50K a week, the return on investment they're getting with all these distribution deals for reruns must be staggering.

I could not believe it when I put on Nick at Nite the other night and there it was.  For a moment I thought I had put GSN on by mistake.

GSN might as well be the "Family Feud" network, since that's what they air seemingly 8 out of 16 hours per day.  Couple that with the current season that is on in syndication, why did they feel the need to add a game show like Feud, which is already on beyond ad nauseum, to Nick @ Nite?  Honestly...

I have a weird, rare but recurring dream where I discover an obscure over-the-air station that's running daytime game shows.  It has nothing to do with digital subchannels, I've had the image in my mind for decades.  Last night, I had the dream again, and the station was airing Harvey Feud.

Richard Karn's Family Feud airs 2 times per week.

And if I read correctly, Karn's Feud now airs zero times per week.  The end of a 7 1/2 year run on GSN.

Where will it end up next, Cartoon Network?  Adult Swim would actually be perfect, given the content of some of the answers these families give these days...
