Game show rerun network launches in areas deemed worthy of Monty Hall

Buzzr, an over-the-air network dedicated to reruns of classic game shows, is launching today on select stations throughout the country. First announced in January, the FremantleMedia-backed station went live this afternoon with a “soft launch” consisting of two Card Sharks and Super Password episodes on a loop, plus short clips of an interview between former Let’s Make A Deal host Monty Hall and his successor, Wayne Brady. At 8 p.m. Eastern, Buzzr will “officially” launch with an airing of the 1963 Deal pilot, in which a youthful Hall strikes deals with soberly attired audience members. The costumes came later.
