"Super Password" is also pre-empted, but I believe that too was likely near the end of the acquired episodes, assuming they have three months of episodes like last time.
These marathons give me even more reason to devote extra time to my personal projects and housework.

After about 80 episodes (most likely), "Super Password" has reverted back to Ep. 200 from July 2, 1985 on GameTV today. Makes sense, since at the time of acquisition, Buzzr's latest episode was from October 31, 1985, and GameTV's cutoff point was two days shy of that date. At least this latest batch of episodes has a greater number of episodes than the previous batch covering 65 episodes from September to December 1984 which GameTV aired from 2018 to 2019.
I never got to see the episodes aired on GameTV last January and early-February due to being at work. Since there is no return-to-office protocol as yet (despite that my province is the only one not in lockdown as of now, most likely), I have an opportunity to catch the episodes I missed out on due to being at work, since I am still at home until further notice.
"Press Your Luck" prematurely reverted back to September 1984 a few weeks ago, after airing the Halloween 1984 episode. It turns out this latest batch is 30 episodes, just like the limited run of 1983 "Love Connection" last year. Regarding "Match Game', it turns out that GameTV has the rights to air "Match Game '74", despite the schedule listing "Match Game '75" last March. This was a year of "Match Game" that was aired a lot of times on GSN since its inception, even when the network has the rights to entire runs of series. Either way, I think this is the earliest year of this series ever aired on GameTV at this point.
If any fresh classic ever comes to GameTV in the future, I am hoping for "Sale of the Century", since there were massive wins, which is incredible for a 1980s game show. "Card Sharks" with Bob Eubanks could also be a candidate, since that had big wins, particularly in January 1986, and a historical single Money Cards win in March that same year, and I can see older "Card Sharks" coming to GameTV someday, since they aired the first McHale season a while ago.
Plus, if "Sale of the Century" or NBC "Card Sharks" ever comes to GameTV, it would be the first game show hosted by Canadian born-host Jim Perry to ever air on GameTV (There were reasons for "Definition" never being rebroadcast since cancellation in 1989, and it was revealed on GameTV's miniseries "The Search for Canada's Game Shows" last year).

I don't live in Canada, but here's what I've heard on Game Show Flashback:
The bad news is that Split Second is not on Game TV anymore. Well, that's okay. The entire run was shown, though it's still odd that one episode is missing the bonus round.
The good news is that a Wink Martindale season of Tic Tac Dough will be replacing the Caldwell one soon. I'm hoping it's either 1, 3, 4, or 5.

I'm hoping it's either 1, 3, 4, or 5. Or maybe 6 since there are no more than about 60 episodes currently from that season in the trading circuit although both CBN and GSN reran that season in its entirety.

I think USA also reran Season 6 in its entirety, too, no? They aired that and Seasons 5 and 7.

CBN aired 1981-82 in 1983-84, 1982-83 in 1984-85, 1983-84 in 1985-86, and Fall 1984 in Fall 1986. There is a picture of Wink in the TTD listing on GameTV's page, so I guess it will be coming to GameTV soon

Even the commercial breaks left in from the GSN airings aren't helping as basic cable wasn't an option when S6 TTD was rerunning.

Thanks for tuning in.

In listings for Tic Tac Dough on igametv.com it is titled as S.8 ‘78 but the episodes are from 1985-86 and not 1978, including these additional episodes with Jim in September, not with Wink until sometime next year. For Split Second, the entire run was on the schedule for almost two years after a previous run in 2013. I was able to make an episode guide for that version, it was completed last spring when I noticed no guide existed before and is on my blog page

Rewindium, I wish you can make an episode guide for the $100,000 Pyramid contestant partners part of the episode guide in the GameTV airings for us(from #371 to the unannounced finale, but there could be selected stations that aired #531-#550 on September 5-30, 1988 though which explains why we say unannounced finale), also the first 65 episodes, and at least the first 65 episodes of Bumper Stumpers, which was all GSN reran when by the time we got to about episode #21 of Bumper Stumpers, it said that Inquizition is renewed and is getting back the 7pm slot.

WOR NYC aired $100K Pyramid through Sep 30, 1988, airing shows from two years earlier IIRC. WOR didn't air the 9/2/1988 finale as they preempted it to show a half hour special previewing the Cosby Show's debut in syndication on 10/3/1988
