Baggage's future on GSN

[Lingofan97]

Does Baggage with Jerry Springer have a future on GSN? Buzzerblog reported this morning that Sony was taking Baggage into syndication to the National Association of Television Programming Executives. (NATPE).

Comments?

Well it probably won't get picked up for syndication. And if it does, Sony will probably make them allow re-runs on GSN. So I don't see it disappearing from GSN anytime soon.

Wasn't Baggage test marketed in syndication in a few cities last year?

Maybe Baggage would be perfect for Lifetime (which hasn't aired game shows since Who Knows You Best in the 2000's) or OWN or WE or Hallmark Channel.

It was. That's the reason for a while in early 2011 why Baggage's new episodes aired at 9:30pm instead of 6:30pm, but I barely remember that.

In my area, Baggage aired in the middle of the night for at least a month. This show would pair well in syndication with Excused.

There's a story right now on Buzzerblog about how Baggage will be going into syndication is Fall 2012. Who knows what will happen for it on GSN

technically, Hollywood Showdown with Todd Newton was the first GSN Original program to be syndicated on both PAX(formerly i,now Ion Television)in 2000 and the TV Guide Channel in 2006, Baggage would be the second GSN Original program to be in syndication.

No, not on the Hallmark Channel because of the adult content.

Who know's what will happen. It might be limited to latenights and weekends. I don't see a new season airing on GSN.

Remember on GSN Baggage still has 60 episodes to air from season 3. I'm curious to see those.
