Title: Since my other thread will probably be clogged with how I mentioned so

In his article about the squeeze on overnight B&W shows, the Professor says that starting August 27, these shows will be wholly represented, with shows like "Play Your Hunch" and "Make The Connection" making an appearance.

But on the GSN.com schedule, Paid Programming is scheduled from about 2:00 AM to 9:00 AM on the 27th.

At what time will these shows be scheduled?

I need to write it on my calendar, whatever time it is.

You're generally better off checking the major listings sites (Zap2it, TV Guide, etc.), as GSN.com's listings are known to be unreliable.  And Zap2it does confirm that the old shows will be on at 3 and 3:30.

Anybody remember what I would characterize as "Vinyl Siding Theater"?  Back when infomercials were not allowed on TV, some vinyl siding manufacturer would present a movie from the station's library but all the breaks would be 2 minute or so telethon-like breaks with operators standing by to take your call to order vinyl siding.  No other commercials would run.  It was a 2 hour paid program, but it didn't look like it.  

Wouldn't it be great if the infomercial people would show old game shows on GSN and use the breaks to promote their products?  I'd be more inclined to watch the commercials within the show and I might even consider buying their wares.
