It seems likely that the PAX network, that tried so hard to re-create the magic of the 'good ol' days' of broadcast television and its game shows will be scrapped in favor of "All 'infomercials', all the time" as of either June 30, or July 1. That means infomercials virtually 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Enjoy the game shows while you can before the sad changeover on either of those dates. :(

What are your thoughts, comments?

Not surprised... all the PAX stations I've ever had were TERRIBLE quality(lines in the picture or just real fuzzy).

An all informercial channel? Talk about unimaginative.

It's pointless they'd be better off selling off their stations and assets. NBC Universal is protesting it.

... theres a jawbreaker for you! what, pax is like the number 1 television station in the world or something, wasn't it?

The two game shows that I missed on PAX was "Supermarket Sweep" and the revived "Beat the Clock". It's so sad to see them go.http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif GSN will soon have a place to put game shows that were used to be on PAX. What will they called it, the Infomercial Channel. All infomercials, all the time!:lol:

I wish that the infomercials that they were shown is on RNN. They're going to compete with the former PAX. Not sure as of yet.

So;they decideded to quit while they're ahead(or behind).It's figures!Not that PAX has been a wham-bam network to start with. :sleep2: Now after all of this time,NOW they are throwing in the tower.Can they called themsleves a network if all they going to do is show informericals?!? :confused: Well,one down,and about two more to go(UPN and WB)if they don't get their act together!!!

It's pointless they'd be better off selling off their stations and assets. NBC Universal is protesting it.

Yes, since NBC owns a 32-1/2% percent stake in the network and is to consider suing to prevent the changeover.

My PAX Station runs mostly informercials now.

... my PAX is only airing regular programming for 7 hours a day currently, so it wont make much of a difference anyway.


the hours of programming are 5-12 pm/am starting with James Arness in "Bonanza."

everyone now,

"We've got a right to pick a little fight, Bonanza!"

TV DVD Fan:James Arness never started on Bonanza(unless he did a guest staring role on it).Lorrne Greenwas the star of the show!

... wrong western.

PAX is a network I wish I got more, I can only get it at my cottage with rabbit ears. The shows I loved to watch is Supermarket Sweep & especially Early Edition. I hope someone else picks Early Edition up(preferibly someone who airs in Canada)

Guys, guys, guys! Calm down, PAX is now I--Indepedent Television--as of 01 July 2005 @ 00.00/12.00midnight ET.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot

If anyone here watches I, say "I" (Everybody: "I!")

But maybe I'm guessing September for The Best of 80s and 90s Game Shows (http://tbgs.flashgameshows.com/) to bring it back.
