They can just rerun his actual run. Or AI him. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that'll work fine.
Most likely, they'll do the latter by airing reruns.

I doubt Rich Koz will allow reruns once he is gone

Money talks, they can just pay Rich for the episodes.

They rerun Bill Leff's show all the time. The contract was probably written for both, to allow for rerunning them, with some residuals.

Creature feature shows usually vanish for good due to the movie rights involved
You can not repeat the movie unless it was part of the contract when the rights were
secured to show it in the first place
For ME-TV repeating old Goolie episodes, the movie rights would have to be negotiated all over again

All movies will be going PD year by year. This year all 1930 movies went PD
Next year all 1931 movies go PD, I suppose Rich Koz could then sell the episodes featuring Dracula & Frankenstein from 31

In 2029, all 1933 movies go PD
So, if Goolie is still around, he could show KING KONG 1933 without negotiating movie rights
