I'm pretty sure people said the same thing about Price being rerun anywhere before Barker passed on.
Wouldn't be surprised if people said the same thing about MGHS and Narz Concentration seeing the light of day either.
Exactly! For that matter, some folks were even saying for a time that Trebek
Classic Concentration was locked up. If the last few years have taught us anything related to classic game shows, it’s to never say never.
As for the Sony streaming service remark, I just mentioned it as one of several possible options, not as a prediction. So I’m not sure why it was, with all due respect, cherry-picked. Do I think it’s
likely that Sony will start a classic GS streaming service? Not really. They hasn’t really shown much of an appetite to do it—if they wanted a classic GS service, they’d have probably done that instead of what they did with Game Show Central, and Sony has actually dialed back it’s streaming presence the last couple years with the sale of Crackle & the discontinuing of PS Vue. I think working with another streamer or BUZZR* are more likely options. But if Sony were to decide there’s money to be made by starting their own streaming service, sure, I think it could conceivably happen at some point.
/*I know some folks here would shoot down the idea of Sony ever leasing shows to BUZZR. But personally, I’m not so sure it’s outside the realm of possibility, and will be glad to discuss my reasons for thinking that.
