As noted before, Fremantle negotiating for what can be seen on their channel may make things easier, instead of sitting by with whoever as Sony moderated on behalf of GSN. So hopefully that translates well into talking with, say, Hasbro re: Scrabble. And dare I say...CBS for a certain other hour long game show? One, ahem, slightly more successful than MG/HS ;-)
Now also wonders how steep the WordPlay issue really was, as such...
