They'd also probably bring Survivor and Amazing Race reruns back and make the channel even more reality-based than people had feared before. They'd attempt to out-fox Fox Reality and would be able to leapfrog their number of homes.
Viacom is not your savior. They would squeeze credits just like they do on all their other channels.
But they're also unlikely to make a move right now. Viacom is currently close to a corporate shuffle where CBS and Viacom are due to spin off, so they're probably not looking hard at acquistions now and concentrating on making what they have work.
But really, what are you basing your pie-in-the-sky dreams on? There is no Santa Claus, the tooth fairy was your mom, and GSN will remain GSN.

If you believe in more reality reruns so much, go ask Summer Redstone
He would think it would be nice to make another acquisition and he would agree with me to get rid of squeezed credits and fee plug omissions and do voiceover promos and full closings of each show.
