From Broadcasting & Cable:

• "Deal Or No Deal" -- A possible syndie by 2007???

• Sony Pictures/GSN taps Michael Davies.

Some promising stuff in the game show future...

I agree. There's no reason GSN couldn't work as a testing area for original games with hopes of syndication success. And Davies' name alone is likely to draw attention to attention-deprived GSN. Everybody wins.

Let's set up this scenario: Supposing Davies successfully uses GSN as an avenue to create and nurture some games...Might Sony then invite him to formally run GSN's operations? And if so, would he do it if given the offer?

Anyone want to wager that we'll be seeing Meredith Viera Millionaire eps on GSN before the year is through?

I'd wager quite a bit that it will be so. For a lot of the viewing public, they're almost entirely new episodes (see also Gray WL)
