Behind Door No. 2: A Revamped GSN
By R. Thomas Umstead
Multichannel News, 12/15/2003 12:03:00 AM

In a major repositioning, Game Show Network will downplay its traditional game-show fare for a more robust interactive-gaming and reality-based content platform, including the planned debut of a new interactive-TV-based digital channel in 2004.

GSN will shed its name and logo next month for a new moniker, which it wouldn’t disclose, and a look that reflects its new programming identity, according to president Rich Cronin.

He expects to detail the changes at next month’s Television Critics Association gathering in Hollywood.

The first casualty of the new approach was Bob Boden, the network’s senior vice president of programming and an avid fan of classic game shows. He left this past week amid plans for the network to devote as much as 75% of its primetime lineup to casino gaming and video-game programming.

"This is a major push for us," said Cronin, adding that the rebranding efforts have received the blessing of network owners Sony Pictures Entertainment and Liberty Media Corp.

Cronin wouldn’t talk about shows that would be added to the revamped network, but he did say the service would launch other casino-based programming, as well as video-game content.

One word says it all.....DANGIT!

I am just sickened by this. I did not wait 8 years to get GSN only for this crap to happen. I am so upset.

That sucks!!!

I got GSN in March 2002 , just before it started going downhill. I can`t believe they`re gonna ruin it by putting all that new crap on. According to tvgameshows.net, the only game shows they`re keeping are Millionaire and Match Game. Those stupid original shows were bad enough, but this is really, really gonna suck!

I was hoping the big news was TPIR coming back, but apparently there`s no chance of that happening now. I just wonder if they actually think people are still gonna watch after this.

I still love "Match Game". But what happened to GSN? Here's an article from tvgameshows.net:

Report: GSN to be GSN No More

If Tom Umstead's report in Multichannel News is correct, Game Show Network will be Game Show Network no more next year.

TVgameshows.net had been clued in for a major announcent from GSN three weeks ago. Umstead's report Monday confirms the rumblings throughout the industry. In a major repositioning which is certain to create major disappointment in its core audience, GSN will junk it's nine-year-old name and six-year-old logo and begin to de-emphrasize its classic programming, including both repeats and traditional studio game shows.

The network is expected to retain "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and "Match Game", its most successful shows, but even "Lingo" is expected to be on the bubble after the current run of 65 original shows.

A new lineup, effective in March, is expected to be announced this week. The revamped network will focus more on casino games, interactive gaming and reality-based programming. Included will be a spinoff interactive digital channel next year.

GSN president Rich Cronin's only quote to Umstead: "This is a major push for us." Cronin is expected to detail more at next month's Television Critics Association confab in Hollywood. TVgameshows.net has requested a phone hookup with Cronin this week.

Senior programming vice president Bob Boden departed last week which was a major shoe to drop in the transition.

Among the possible names mentioned in other media: All-Games Channel (AGN), The Games Channel and The Interactive Channel. Cronin has confirmed none of those new names.

TVgameshows.net will develop a series of stories on what has led to the decision, which has the lesssing of GSN's ownership partners, Sony Pictures Television and Liberty Digital Media.

This is just great. :rolleyes:

Where did all the classic game shows go? I hope there going to be a Game Show Classics in the future.

Boy, this is terrible news..I love watching the classic game shows...:(

Well PISS on whoever made that decision!:mad: :mad: ! I'm gonna miss "Match Game". They better not take that off- well, maybe it'll be on during the day.

Another great network bites the dust. :rolleyes:

:(

I just don't believe it. Will this mean an end to all of the classic gameshows on GSN? If so, the network is dead to me.

Match Game is one of the few classic game shows that is due to be on the network after the change.

That's good news!:D Thanks

Well, ain't this just magnificent. One of the few channels I watch fairly regularly has to go change everything around. Anybody up for starting a petition?

if you start it ill sign it

I hope "Match Game" will keep it on forever especially for a change during the revamp lineup. I still love that show and I'll watch it right after "Full House". What about classic episodes of "The Price Is Right"?

No one here seems to want the change. That should tell them something. I used to watch this all of the time until all this junk came on. Now it's getting worse! Gaahh! And what's with that reality show? Please!:confused:

We only represent a small portion of the viewing population. There could be lots of people that will like the change. I honestly don't think peitioning will work. What I plan to do is sit back and hope the new programs crash and burn and they'll have no choice but to return to traditional studio game shows.

Hey, I kinda like this idea. They'll keep Millionaire and want the rights to TPIR and will give it a good slot. This might be for the good.

I really don't like the casino/reality stuff though. They are GAME SHOW NETWORK.

They won't be Game Show Network much longer. :(

At least, Cronin states that he is planning to keep Game Shows on in the morning and afternoons and that he will be keeping the B&W Overnight hour.

In the immortal words of Redd Foxx on Sanford and Son YOU BIG DUMMY!!

How could Rich Cronin ruin a network that has been a haven for game show fans like me?

:( This sucks

Rich Cronin just to hit big time since Bob Boden left. By the time GSN ends by March 15th, it would lose some of its luster. In the immortal words of Gloria Gaynor, "I Will Survive".

If that's the case, let's hope he decides to whip out more vault stuff since the classics airings will be so limited.

Let's make one to fire Rich Cronin, the moron behind all this crap.

I think he thinks vault stuff will give him a rash. :rolleyes:

[COLOR=skyblue]I got a solution!! E-mail, call, and/or write a letter to Rich Cronin and/or the other suites and tell them to leave GSN the way it is!! The GSN fans didn't like the GSN video thing and the network got rid of that and only showed it on the weekends!!

Wonder who's brilliant idea this was?:crazy: :eek:

I love the classic game shows!:(

Does anyone know what if the same show's will be on the Schedule when they Change the name if you know if they will have the same show's please let me know.

Will tell you all about it as the announcer would say on an old radio show, "Find out in the next episode".

I waited seven years for GSN to come to Seymour Tennessee but now GSN will go down big time!!!! I hope they rot!!

This sucks. I bet GSN won't be very sucessful in the future if they keep this crap up.

You only have a few more days to watch GSN then good-bye GSN, Hello, Well, Whatever!!

Will see what happens in a few days.

There is also a link from tvgameshows.net features an interview with GSN president, Rich Cronin about the change that prevents our schedule. Here is that link.

http://www.tvgameshows.net/cronindec.htm

With Bob Boden out of the picture, the network will go to the birds and hopefully will lose viewers no thanks to Richie Cronin.

I hope that The Game Show Network has the same show's that they have now when they change

Game Show Network has changed it's name to simply just... GSN! Yes, it is now just called GSN. That's the big name change. They will also have a tagline, The Network for Games.

Here is the info from the TCA Winter Tour:

Call Us 'GSN' From Now On ... Game Show Network Shortens Its Name to GSN

Network Re-branding and New Primetime Programming Premieres Week of March 15 at 10 PM

GSN Acquires Popular Series THE MOLE and SPY TV


HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 9 -- With an expansion strategy that
builds on its game show base to add reality, casino and video game programming, Game Show Network is formalizing the already common use of GSN, and revitalizing its on-air, look, sound and feel with an exciting new graphics package.
While continuing with a mix of game shows featuring 84 hours per week of interactive play-along, GSN will debut five new game series in a variety of genres every weeknight at 10:00 PM ET/PT beginning Monday, March 15. Among its original new series are GSN'S WORLD SERIES OF BLACKJACK, the network's first original casino game series; its first relationship game, FAKE-A-DATE,
hosted by "Joe Millionaire's" Evan Marriott; and reality comedy series KENNY VS. SPENNY, which features two friends competing against one another in absurd games of physical endurance and mental toughness. GSN will also debut an original two-hour documentary entitled VIDEO GAME INVASION: THE HISTORY OF A
GLOBAL OBSESSION on Sunday, March 21. In addition, GSN has also acquired the popular reality series THE MOLE, and SPY TV, the hidden-camera comedy series.
Translating the fun and entertainment of the game play experience to its television viewers in more than 53 million homes nationwide, GSN is also continuing to expand upon its commitment to developing complementary interactive offerings for its primetime programming. GSN will unveil real time sync-to-broadcast interactive play-along components for each of the new
series when they premiere this March. In the case of GSN'S WORLD SERIES OF BLACKJACK, for example, players will be able to register online at gsn.com and play for free in two ways: 1) a special stand-alone version of the game 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 2) real-time competition against other viewers.
Elaborating on its expanded programming commitment and rebranding effort, GSN's President and CEO Rich Cronin said, "As the leading network for interactive game shows, it is natural for us to expand to a variety of game-related programming. Since we were already using the name 'GSN' on-air and at gsn.com, and our viewers and the industry also frequently used it, we decided to make GSN our official name, adding the tagline 'The Network for Games.' Our vision is to become the global leader in interactive television games, and with Sony Pictures Entertainment and Liberty Media Corporation as our parents, we are perfectly positioned to fulfill this."
GSN's new on-air look, includes a bold yet stylized GSN logo supported by a striking color palette, graphic animation and sound package that conveys the network's dominance in all things game. The new on-air look is a sophisticated yet playful interpretation of today's game environment. Angular and fast paced, the new GSN logo lives in a multifaceted game box that flips, spins and unfolds to reveal program teases, tune-in info and sponsorship billboards, among other elements.
Said GSN Senior Vice President of Marketing Dena Kaplan: "We are excited to launch this distinctive network brand package that will appeal to the player in all of us. We will complement our new on-air and on-line packaging with a multi-platform national consumer brand and tune-in advertising and promotional campaign."
While original and acquired studio-based game shows will still comprise the majority of GSN's schedule, the network will unveil three new original series, one original documentary and two new acquisitions in March -- all game-related programs.
GSN will kick off its first "new look" series on Monday, March 15th at 10 p.m., with the debut of GSN'S WORLD SERIES OF BLACKJACK, the network's first original casino game series, which has players vying for $250,000 in prize money. This weekly series will feature the world's top blackjack players and
tournament players competing against each other for world blackjack champion.
GSN selected Blackjack as its premiere because it is the most popular card game played in casinos around the world.
On Tuesday, March 16th, at 10 p.m., television's smartest reality show, THE MOLE, makes its way to GSN. The first two seasons of the exciting "whodunit" hit game series THE MOLE, as well as CELEBRITY MOLE HAWAII, will air weekly in the Tuesday 10 p.m. time slot. GSN will begin on March 16 with CELEBRITY MOLE HAWAII, which featured Kathy Griffin, Corbin Bernsen, Stephen Baldwin, Michael Boatman, Kim Coles, Frederique Van Der Wal, Erik von Detten and host Ahmad Rashad. The first two "civilian" seasons of THE MOLE were hosted by CNN newsman Anderson Cooper and the series is produced by Stone
Stanley Entertainment
On Wednesday, March 17th at 10 p.m., GSN introduces its new lover meets faker competition, FAKE-A-DATE, hosted by "Joe Millionaire's" Evan Marriott.
The unique relationship game features one lucky contestant paired up with two singles of the opposite sex. At the end of the dual date, the contestant must choose between the dates, one of which is truly looking for love, while the other is hoping to fake their way to winning a luxury trip with their real-life significant other.
On Thursday, March 18th at 10 p.m., GSN introduces viewers to KENNY VS. SPENNY, featuring two friends who devise and compete in absurd but hysterical games of physical endurance and mental prowess in an effort to prove which one is ultimately champion. Among the unique competitions, for example, is a test
of stamina, wherein the determined Spenny sets his mind to staying awake longer than the lazy Kenny, who rises to the challenge by downing massive amounts of caffeine and other stimulants. By the end of the competition, the sleep-deprived combatants provide viewers with lots of laughs and tips for how
not to lose this competition at home.
Another exclusive acquisition for GSN debuts on Friday, March 19th at 10 p.m. SPY TV takes hidden-camera comedy to the next level by putting people in extreme situations and recording their unpredictable reactions. SPY TV pranks prove that people's spontaneous reactions in extreme situations are wilder, wackier and funnier than anything that could ever be scripted.
On Sunday, March 21 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, GSN debuts its original two-hour documentary VIDEO GAME INVASION: THE HISTORY OF A GLOBAL OBSESSION. This documentary will cover the birth and explosive growth of video games and will be hosted by skateboard and video game icon Tony Hawk.
As previously announced, GSN is also partnering with National Lampoon to produce the first-ever Greek-flavored summer games spoof, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GREEK GAMES, which will debut in May 2004. The series features fraternities and sororities competing in a variety of outrageous sports, including the Pita
Bread Discus Toss and Greek Olive Oil Wrestling. The competition culminates in July with a two-hour special featuring the top fraternities and sororities battling it out for the gold. GSN and National Lampoon joined forces previously on NATIONAL LAMPOON'S FUNNY MONEY.

Since the new stuff doesn't start until 10pm eastern, this "huge" change doesn't seem all that huge.

Not bad!! Not bad at all!! I wish they could get Eubanks' Dream House!!!

I could live with the new strategy if they would bring back Classic Sunday night. Middle of the night airings do me no good. I could tape them, but why go through the hassle?

I have no realistic expectations of this happening though. My guess is that they'll leave the line-up somewhat constant immediately after the changeover but then, slowly but surely, old favorites will start disappearing from the line-up to be replaced with new fare.

I hate to be skeptical, but I've seen this happen with other networks (AMC and TNN for example).

I actually love the old Game Show Network logo better, but not the new logo that the one that Pav was posted that picture called GSN.

Here is that article about the new March GSN lineup at:
http://www.tvgameshows.net/gsnlineup.htm

Let's add these: "Hollywood Squares(Peter Marshall), Gong Show(Chuck "Chuckie Baby!!" Barris), Dream House(Bob Eubanks), Richard Dawson's "All-star Family Feud", Price Is Right(before Bob Barker went gray hair), Let's Make A Deal, Tom Kennedy's Name That Tune, Jim Lange Dating Game & Bullseye, Black and White Overnight shows like Beat The Clock(Bud Collyer), To Tell The Truth, What's My Line, Queen For A Day, You Don't Say, (Though erased by you never know like Hollywood Squares as they uncovered over 3,500 of the nearly 6,000 made from 1966-1981) Rhyme & Reason, Sale of the Century with Jim Perry, Hot Potato & Blockbusters any show from the Dean of Game Shows, Bill Cullen.

Keep originals like Cram, Lingo, and Whammy but get rid of all the other originals because they are junk!!

has mike connors appeared on gsn's win lose or draw eps with jerry van dyke and betty white , does someone have on tape? write eferrucci@aol.com

Let's bring back more "Breakfast With the Stars" like they did last year and "Win, Lose or Draw" with Vicki Lawrence (not Bert Convy).

GSN's March 15th schedule will be in effect. If you like to read this article about the change, go to that site:
http://www.tvgameshows.net/gsnmarchsked.htm

There is an upcoming GSN schedule called "Extreme Dodgeball". You should check out this article on this website:
http://www.tvgameshows.net/gsndodgeball.htm

To get back into basics, let's also bring back the 1979-80 season version of "Beat the Clock" with Monty Hall and the PAX's version with Gary Kroger.

Don't foget, Game Show Network is leaving "Win, Lose or Draw" as of March 15th until the change will be in effect. I still have the board game. If "Match Game" will still be on after the change, who knows.

I saw the promo that on March 15th, it says "The Games are changing..." and it says "Stay Tuned!" That's all I had to say.

I still loved "Win, Lose or Draw" on GSN, and I hope that I'm going to miss that show because on March 14th, "Win, Lose or Draw" is leaving for good before they will make way for the all-new GSN. Includes a brand new lineup with a twist and some old favorites too. Except for that, I still love the board game.

Match Game is one of if not the most popular show on the network!! When GSN lost the Goodson-Todman Library in 1997 thousands & thousand of fans bombarded the network wanting MG back on and they won back the library afterwards!!

If you like to know all about the old GSN, check out this one from the Jump the Shark site:

That just sucks!! Game show network is the Going South Network as somebody just stole my suggestion!!:mad: :mad:

Not really, it's from the site called gameshowfavorites.com and the name of it is "Game Show Favorites" that has the new GSN schedule starting next Monday.

Folks, on this premiere 3/15/2004, Game Show Network will be gone forever and we will rename a new network called GSN: The Network for Games.

Thank god for Nick GAS! GSN goes downhill, Nick GAS and G4 goes up!

That's great! We only got 5 days left for the old GSN to rap it up and make way for the new GSN.

Don't forget, tomorrow is the last weekend for Game Show Network until Monday before Game Show Network becomes GSN: The Network for Games. Don't miss it!!! You're only got 3 days left.

I made a new avatar in memory of Game Show Network.

Here is an article according to tvgameshows.net:

Monday: The Name Changes

The image preparation has been underway for nearly a month. ######## fans have long ago used the term GSN as an abbreviation.

Monday, the transition is offical: Game Show Network is dead as an identity after nearly 10 years. GSN: The Network for Games becomes the new monkker.

Aside from the 10:00 PM time slot where a series of non-traditional games, documentries and network repeats will be inserted, viewers will probably sense little change at the outset.

"Who Want to Be a Millionaire", GSN's highest-rated off-network series; "Match Game" (my favorite along with another of my favorite show "Full House") and "Lingo", the top-ranked original, will still be in place.

However, GSN is pinning its hopes high on the $250,000 "World Series of Blackjack" as a flagship in the current craze of casino games. ESPN's success last summer with the "World Series of Poker" (which continues to be rerun ad infinitum) spawned Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and Fox Sports Net's "Late Night Poker".

Former "Joe Millionaire" Evan Marriot will helm "Fake-A-Date", GSN's first original attempt at a documentry. Canadian import "Kenny Vs. Spenny" is definitely out of the non-traditional bank.

Another opening week entity, a Tony-Hawk-narrated 2-hour journey into video games, is GSN's second attempt at an original documentary---though outside the realm of what its loyalists had hoped. The retrospective into the "Press Your Luck" story of Michael Larson's six-figure victory in 1984 stands as the highest-rated broadcast in the history of Game Show Network.

I will black out GSN since I am outraged over the change. Thanks Nick GAS and G4!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

That's very sad! Last night I made an avatar as a memorial tribute to one of the best network in the world for classic game shows. It will lasted until the end of the week.

Last night, I saw "World Series of Blackjack" on the new GSN. I thought it was an OK show. It will be on again if I can use my DVR. :D
