Rumor Control: Two New “Playmania” Shows to GSN?

This is a rather big rumor. According to some emails from Playmaniacs, GSN has been running bumpers on the air for Playmania, showing some new title graphics and the words “New Ways to Play” and constantly advertising the date February 20th. That’s news enough. However, we’ve also heard that some bumpers have said “Two New Shows” and then says “Quiznation” and “100 Winners”. I know we have some Playmaniacs reading, can anyone supply a screencap of that graphic? So could we be seeing a rotating roster of text-and-win shows on GSN? Personally, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I watched Playmania this weekend again, and it is truly fantastic in my eyes. Shandi is one of the best TV personalities currently as far as I could see. We’ve been told some announcements will be made on Wednesday describing what’s been going on with those advertisements, so stay tuned to Buzzer on Wednesday/Thursday to get the low-down.

    Hmmmm…Sounds to me like the folks behind Playmania COULD be bringing more live and interactive play to GSN late nights, question I have..could this be the begining of say.the coming of a digital gaming channel called GSN Playmania?

  • Xavier says:

    Glad to see we agree on something Alex. Me and you agree Shandi is great on Playmania.
    I can’t wait until Thursday to see the news.

    I saw the exact same thing about the new promos… Which these are nothing like any other GSN promo… Also saw the February 20 thing as well… I set the DVR to record.

    I can confirm the Quiznation and 100 Winners promo. I watch GSN a lot (a LOT) and have been seeing it in every other commercial for the last few days. I’m quite excited about it too and I can’t wait to hear more about it.

    If it were up to me, I would say Quiznation could be a daytime companion to PlayMania, maybe in the morning or afternoon so it would compete with My Games Fever. 100 Winners could air in the Monday at midnight time-slot, since PlayMania only airs Tuesday through Sunday. I just hope they don’t air one of them AFTER PlayMania, that would suck, I don’t want to have to choose between it and Play2Win. Maybe 100 Winners could air in the afternoon and Quiznation at 2 AM or something similar?

    How can they have 3 interactive shows in late night? Either one will air outside of late night, or else PlayMania will get a few of its nights cut.
