Unicycling on the Game Show Network?

The host (and film crew) of the GSN show "Games Across America" were at
NAUCC. I believe that they got a lot of really great footage at the
various events.

When I asked them when it would air they said to check the gsn.com
website. I've been unable to determine when the show will be on.

Does anyone else know?

They told me it would take about 4 weeks for them to edit the footage.
That would make the airdate Saturday, August 14th, but obviously it
could also be a week or so before or after that date. The show airs
Saturday nights. The show consists of 10 3-minute segments aired during
commercial breaks over a 3 hour period.

The Game Show Network's webpage is http://www.gsn.com. I could not find
any schedule info about "Games Across America".

I just found this listing on the Game Show Network website:

Games Across America (American Unicycling Championships – Salt Lake, UT)
is on Saturday, 8/7/2004 at 9:00pm et. A grand tour of the mystifying
and competitive world of unicycling, featuring hockey, basketball and
track & field events all performed one wheel at a time.

Remember that Games Across America consists of 10 3-minute segments
aired during commercial breaks over a 3 hour period, apparently starting
at 9:00pm (eastern US time zone).

Thanks Reid!

How the heck did you find that? All I can find is what appears to be a
reference to this weeks episode

Games Across America (Redneck Games – East Dublin, GA) is on Saturday
at 9:00pm et. A visit to the deep south and Dublin, Georgia for the
annual Redneck Games, featuring such competitive staples as the mudpit
belly flop, hubcap hurl, armpit serenade, and seed spitting contest.


I'm not sure if I'm entirely happy about the fact that the Unicycling
nationals and the "Redneck Games" are considered the same type of
entertainment by GSN.

Remember to watch/videotape/Tivo the Game Show Network this Saturday
night 9pm-midnight (US eastern standard time) to see their coverage of
NAUCC 2004 in Salt Lake City. It looks like they will re-air the 3-hour
block of programming from midnight-3am, but I can't guarantee that

Maybe some industrious person out there can digitize the 10 3-minute
segments and make them available to us over the web. If you do, please
don't make the files too large.

I tried to record it, and I checked their site... but it was wrong and
had the Redneck games on as erlier mentiond by Grant. It says Unicycle
but I am watching something totally different.

Glad to find out we weren't the only ones with the redneck games on. Hopefully
someone will figure it out.

I believe Bugman wrote the Game Show Network an email asking when the
NAUCC coverage would air.

I imagine it will air next week. Maybe they didn't get the NAUCC
segments edited in time.

I emailed them, but they never replied. I will plan on recording on
Saturday hoping that is the right day. It only airs on Saturday nights
from 9pm to 12pm during the commercial breaks. So in order to get the
whole show you need to record the 3 hour block.
