You heard it right. Starting Monday, June 12th, GSN will begin taping the 4th season of Lingo, one of it's most successful original series ever. No word on who the model for this season will be or what the budget it. Buzzer will get all of the info ASAP. Buzzer will also be getting an exclusive interview with the host of Lingo, Chuck Woolery, and will be here for your enjoyment. By the way, I would like to thank GSN for the wonderful tribute to Anne Bancroft they had today. The Black and White shows were a wonderful change to the lineup. Thanks, GSN.

Isolation Booth: The Amazing Cable Lineup
Don't let Alex's big old post fool you. I was at the press conference, too, so I totally agree with everything Alex said. Now, I guess I'll present why I think that GSN's big, well, AMAZING acquisition of The Amazing Race was one of the best moves that GSN’s made all year. Bold statement, yes, but it’s a true statement, and let me tell you why. First, after listening to Rich Cronin talk about the direction that this move would take GSN, I’m convinced that this will seriously make GSN a recognizable cable television station. They’re doing a boatload of advertising. They’ll (hopefully) get it interactive online. The Amazing Race is going to be the anchor for GSN’s summer lineup. With the instant recognition of The Amazing Race, the other s

Amazing (Cable) Race
GSN's "in final negotations" to enquire all 7 seasons of the hit CBS show The Amazing Race to air. No one's saying much about anything right now, but this may be a very, VERY smart move for GSN. The last season of TAR garnered 13 million viewers overall, and had a 5.3/13 ratings share for the "key" demographic of 18-49 adults (and kids at heart, I guess.) With the mainstream popularity of, IMO, the best reality show on television, GSN is doing a good thing here with this acquisition. Plus, I had the finale of TAR on my PSP. It was good. The Outdoor Life Network, OLN as they say, is also in final negotiations to get all 10 seasons of that other CBS show, Survivor. The downside of this is that Richard Hatch will, in fact, be getting airtime
