Not to rain on their parade, but a couple of questions after the one on the crunchy credits they tell you the best way to contact actors, etc is to read the credits to find out how to contact the producers.

It's certainly interesting that Scifi HAS such a page. Too bad about the several weaselly answers on it.

Yes it was, don't worry about DSmith, his Cheerios seem to have a fair amount of piss in them of late.


And yet it's allowed to continue. Every other post is nothing but steaming crap from him.

Anyways, are there any markets left that run GSN on analog cable? It was never offered on mine until digital came out.

Have you ever visited the GSN boards?  It's filled with people who make it their daily habit to complain that GSN scrunched the ad for Crunch 'N Munch.  Last time I checked, their board had about 10 worthwhile posters.

If you want to defend that kind of behavior, go right ahead.

Is the "I agree, thanks for the info" guy still there (tom3?)

I live on the west coast.  And on analog, GSN runs the west coast feed.  On digital, it runs the east coast feed.

It's just wonderful.  In the morning I can watch the east coast feed and see game shows starting at 7am, and in the evening I can watch game shows on the west coast feed while the reality crap runs on the east coast feed.

"Good" is understatement. That's incredible.

Agreed. And double agreed we should have such a document up. Dare say it should be in the archives. It would be reminiscent of the ATGS FAQ's portions where common questions were answered. At the very least, somebody should set up an intelligent thread about the hows and whys of GSN.

My guess is that there are actually more systems with GSN on analog than there used to be.  Comcast has moved GSN from digital to analog on some of their systems of TCI heritage...I know they did that in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh, where I used to live.

Yes. Where I live, my cable system is Comcast Harrisburg, which runs GSN 24/7 on channel 73....

Burnsville, Minnesota [St. Paul/Minneapolis] has it on 99
St. Louis, Missouri [Comcast, I believe...I've watched it in Lebanon, Illinois...home to McKendree College...has GSN on channel 54]

in certain Chicago markets, WOW! Internet & Cable provides service and GSN is on analog channel 89 or 84, depending on whether or not you have a box.   Unfortunately, they didn't add it to their lineup until September 10, 2002 while "Scam"cast had it going back to 1998 or possibly even earlier.

In my former county of residence (Lincoln County, Tennessee), the cable system of Fayetteville Electric System (now Fayetteville Public Utilities) has had GSN on analog channel 68 since the system's inception in late 2000.  I had access to that system (and what was then Game Show Network) from late September 2001 to late October 2002.  While I haven't had the channel in my home since (having moved to an area where the FPU cable system didn't reach, and now living in Madison County, Alabama and served by Mediacom), I'm very certain that it is still on the FPU cable system.

No, it's sh**cast. Actually amazing that another cable company beat Time Warner for this award.

[aaron sica]

Another cable system that broadcasts GSN on analog is Susquehanna Communications (SusCom), in York/Hanover and Williamsport, PA.

When I stayed on Long Island two summers ago, it was on their analog lineup as well (Channel 17 IIRC). Whether or not it's still there is beyond me.
