Lately I have been hearing radio ads for the Game Show Network on Comcast in the Boston area. Yet when I check my lineup on comcast I can't find it. Anyone know what's going on? Is it only on in a certain area? And does anyone else notice that ESPN Classic had been listed as Local Programming for sometime now?

Game Show Network on Comcast
- Thread starter jake1966
- Start date
GSN on Comcast (at least in my area) is only on 12 hours a day from noon until midnight. Then Comcast switches to some stupid all-infomercial channel, which pi**ses me off as I do not get a chance to watch the black & white classic game shows that GSN runs during the early morning hours.
GSN for the most part, ever since they re-branded themselves and pretty much went "interactive", is a bitter disappointment for me. When I saw them on C-band satellite as "The Game Show Network" in 1996 for the first time, it was EXCELLENT with some great old time game shows like "To Tell The Truth" (both B&W and color), "Sunday Night Black and White", "Password" and more. Today GSN is all pretty much "GSN Originals" with some game shows from the 80's and 90's thrown in. I am still glad that they run "Match Game 7X" on a regular basis.

On my Comcast system (Westfield, MA), GSN is on Channel 68 but the on-screen guide has always listed it as "Local Access". And yes, GSN airs on a limited basis with the balance of programming being infomercials.
