According to this Twitter page on this link, two new game show channels will be launching on National Game Show Day on June 1.There will be a 24-hour channel devoted to Drew's TPIR, but will be titled "The Price is Right Channel". According to on-air promios, they appear to be Season 38 episodes (2009-2010 season), which was the last season with Rich Fields as announcer. It doesn't appear there will be anything from Drew's first two seasons, and it makes sense, since those two seasons were awful - particularly during a time when there was a drastically low frequency of luxury cars being offered, a drastically reduced prize budget, an increase in shows with zero out of six pricing games won, a lot of pricing games going on a lengthy hiatus, and other factors. Also, there will be a "Family Feud Classic" channel on PlutoTV. I am not sure which series will be focused, but I am thinking it will likely be Dawson ABC episodes since that had quite a lot of episodes (2000+ episodes, if I remember correctly). I can only hope for a Press Your Luck channel someday, and/or maybe even a Card Sharks channel.

A Dick Clark's $25K/$100K Pyramid channel would be nice too!

It turns out the PlutoTV channel for Drew's TPIR went live yesterday, and as I expected, it is Season 38 episodes to start (Rich's final season). I am thinking the reason for not airing any of Drew's first two seasons may be due to being produced in SD, and for this channel, they'd prefer to air HD episodes for the sake of consistency. If the majority of a host's tenure has HD, they will only offer HD episodes, otherwise they air SD episodes (the latter, like is the case with The Barker Era channel). Not to mention that Drew's first two seasons were awful (though, to me, Season 37 got much better in April 2009) - it's amazing the show managed to stay on the air despite two years of troubles.
When did TPIR start being produced in HD? I know this started by April 1, 2009, as I just viewed the beginning of that episode just now.
Also, did the Drew TPIR PlutoTV channel start with the Season 38 premiere, or did it actually start one or two weeks into the season?

I’ve been enjoying the FF Classic channel. It does have my namesake (just the first season, it seems) and Dawson Feud from 1980-1982, which Buzzr has been running lately. I do wish they air a wider selection of episodes later on.
