GSN.com - Game Show Network

Game Show Network – GSN.com. GSN was formerly known to be the Game Show Network. It’s a US cable TV as well as direct broadcasting satellite channel, fully dedicated to producing traditional and casino type game shows. This channel had originally been launched in 1994. It has a funky slogan - "Play Every Day". The Game Show Network is now made available to over 67 million homes. It’s now jointly possessed by the Liberty Media, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The GameShowNetwork has run large amounts of classical game shows mostly airing on weekend (Saturday) nights. For the initial months in 2006 some back-to-back episodes regarding Match Game were programmed in line with the original block that was billed as “That '70s Hour”. This one showed the actual production slate prior to episode in addition to the Match Game trivia along with short clips of the famous interview with former host Gene Rayburn (this was produced a couple of minutes prior to his death).

In summer, 2006, this network started a very special 7-week run on ‘The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time’. Later that year, GSN began a popular series of 8 documentaries on game shows, that began with a special program that remained in the Match Game genre and was titled as Behind The Blank.

Other well known issues included the followings like Chuck Barris or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It was in late 2008, when GSN along with Meow Mix came up with a very specially entitled show called ‘Think Like a Cat’. This show however had Chuck Woolery as its host. This show in particular had top prize as high as $1,000,000. That’s one of the records among the few instances when any game show (airing on cable television) enjoyed giving away that high amount as the grand prize! Also the popular GSN Bingo at gsn.com/bingo
