    The 8am hour

    This came up on another one of the threads earlier today, did you think Paid Programming was better in the 8am hour or Match Game? Paid Programming brings in revenue for GSN, and Match Game has been getting pretty low numbers, which weighs down the daytime averages. Plus the episodes have been shown so many times over the course of 2010 and 2011.

    Considering the fact the daytime average was MUCH lower than it is now, I say keep it. It averages around 100-150K, and also considering 9am used to never achieve that, I say keep it. If only Douglas' old site was still up, you could see it.

    I voted other because I think there does need to be more variety and 2 hours of Match Game in 4 hours within the same year and a half is excessive. That said, if they put something else on at 11 than leaving MG at 8 is ok too.

    I say keep Match Game - at least until after GSN adds more episodes. If they do add more episodes, that is.

    I've been saying, ditch the 8AM hour for awhile but, now I think, keep the 8am hour and keep it Match Game.

    I doubt paid programming attracts all that many viewers, but I could be wrong. Match Game, as many times as they've repeated these same handful of episodes, helps out the 9am shows. When Paid Programming opened up the day and Family Feud would air at 9:00am, they would have 50-75k, now they have over 100-150k.

    I selected other though, since I would like to see a new variety of Classics to air at this hour, just to give MG a rest for a bit. If they're not going to obtain more MG episodes, then try another Classic series.
