Buzzr has had a smaller number of fresh episodes this year for reasons that would be only speculation on our part. They (so far) have given us 56 fresh episodes of Classic Concentration this year, and over 900 episodes since it premiered on Buzzr, and they do a pretty good job of cycling through a range of those episodes. Fans of every other show on Buzzr who love such dire treatment. I would agree with you as far as the "speculation" bit is concerned. 56 fresh episodes in one year is a little too few IMO, especially when this version (the Two Strikes 2.0 format) is by far the rarest and (therefore) most coveted of the several versions of CC. Maybe it's just a cultural thing, but where I come from, when a TV show on-demand is released online, all the episodes just come out on the official TV network's TV-on-demand webpage and all can straightaway be accessed for viewing. It's not usual to just release a few episodes and never give any prior notice as to when the remaining episodes will be released - it's a bit like making a payment in installments and not specifying a time limit when the balance will be paid in full, if that makes sense. If Buzzr isn't intending to release the remaining CC episodes anytime soon, I think the least they could do is make it explicitly clear when they intend to do so, if at all. It's not fair that they keep us waiting for the hare to turn up like this - it's not only wasting time, it's also a little disruptive to our schedules as we're all busy people. If they don't intend to release the remaining episodes, fine, at least they should say so and make it clear. I don't know how long you have been watching BUZZR, but I see you are very new to the GSP boards. When I first joined, I learned a lot from those who were already members.
To address your latest concerns, I would point out that BUZZR is not an on-demand webpage. It is a digital broadcast television network, and does not produce or release any new content; it only shows reruns. Occasionally, it expands the universe of reruns that it has aired, and this community shares that information with the "Fresh to BUZZR" posts. Specific batches of "Fresh" episodes are never announced by BUZZR for any show that is rerun, not just Classic Concentration.
Like you, I would love to know more information about future programming, but I take the information as BUZZR makes it available. For the last several years, BUZZR has been very consistent about releasing schedule information every few weeks. Shows are added and dropped, time slots are changed, some air for years with few or no "fresh" episodes, while other shows are updated regularly. No one knows about any of these changes beforehand. We are all in the same boat when it comes to this.

Does anyone know the broadcast dates of Price Is Right for this week and next or possibly the week after? January 28-February 22, 1985.

Buzzr can be best described as very similar to GSN at it's peak which was most of 1997 sans the Sony produced shows with the rare exception of the 1990s Newlywed Game with no editing of time compression or the credits except that the range of episodes is more limited and is released seasonally in "batches", in other words the same episodes are rotated more often to the point of rerun abuse though casual viewers don't notice that for the most part. Yes, fans and collectors do share the episodes to Youtube from recordings but they are first premiered on the channel where this thread tracks new content from the schedules when Buzzr provides them

From the way you're describing BUZZR as above, it's clearly a very unpredictable network. Reruns, on-demand, or otherwise, in Asia the networks normally inform us in advance (usually on their social media) as to what is coming, so that we don't have to "wait for the hare to turn up". Then again though, it could be a cultural thing, I honestly dunno. I can see that there are a lot of new posts concerning Price Is Right and Password Plus, dunno what those are; but apparently there isn't anything new on Classic Concentration. And I will be busy for the next three weeks or so as I am doing some serious administrative work. So what I am going to do is assume that CC is not going to be airing anything new in the near future unless told otherwise.

Rewindium pretty much hit the nail on the head when it comes to describing Buzzr. My only real gripe with Buzzr is the absurd amount of episodes they skip or censor because of their “content”.
It’s ridiculous how much stuff GSN previously had no issues showing in the 2000s and 2010s is now skipped by the trigger happy censors Buzzr has! It’s especially annoying when it concerns a rare series not seen in years like Whew! or Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour. In those cases, the only way to find the episodes Buzzr skips is to track down off-air recordings of the original broadcasts, which isn’t that easy.

The rise in Social Media? Don't think so, GSN started its Facebook page in 2008 and even by then, they had no issues of showing the August 26, 1985 Super Password episode WITH the Cashword portion left unedited, they also had no issues of airing the episodes of whatever Buzzr is skipping when fresh episodes come Buzzr's way. Social media was in its infancy in 1997 and didn't really take off until like 2011 or so. What Buzzr checks before the batch of fresh episodes begin is which episodes are considered tacky.

Social media for the game show community started in the mid 90s with alt.tv.game-shows. AOL chat rooms were popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, too. Myspace got hot in 2006, and Facebook around 2009 or so.

I noticed how many Classic Concentration episodes Buzzr has skipped due to "content". It is maddening yes, it's a bit like the "georestricting" of content (such as music, which was once available globally as long as you purchased the CD of the artiste). All these new "copyright laws" just piss me off. Then again, it's just me speculating, but based on what has been shared above, could it be possible that Buzzr might well intend to not air any new episodes of CC now due to "copyright reasons"?

New schedule posted. To Tell the Truth and The Price Is Right are still fresh. For TTTT, it is going on for a little longer than last time. yaggy will be happy to hear this. Let me know if I missed anything like those three Password Plus episodes last week. That is true and yes I am! It means 35 on schedule, verified. Last batch was 30 but the previous ones were always 40, so it's a nail-biter. Unless it is miraculously gaining traction... winchester! Also glad they put Split Second back on, which started further along but recently reset to 0001. General, worldly knowledge is always worth rewarding with cash and prizes. the only show where a CRT monitor gets its own credit...

I composed the episode guide for Split Second 86 a while back. All 130 of the produced episodes were rerun on GameTV in Canada in 2019 with slightly different prints for additional plugs and the contestant accommodation sponsor. Episode 0001 as Buzzr’s schedule has it was actually the 19th produced episode but was apparently the first for US syndication
