Game Show Network is an American pay television channel, owned by Sony Pictures Television. The channel's programming is dedicated to game shows, including reruns of classic game shows, along with new, first-run original and revived game shows. For a period in the mid 2000s, Game Show Network began branching out into "games" in general, including reality competition series and televised poker shows. Game Show Network is available to 79 million households in America as of January 2016. On May 7, 1992, Sony Pictures Entertainment joined forces with the United Video Satellite Group to launch Game Show Channel, set to launch in 1993; the announcement of the channel was made by SPE president Mel Harris. Sony Pictures' holdings included those by Inc.. SPE was in competition with The Family Channel in launching a game show-oriented channel when The Family Channel announced the launch of its own service called Game Channel. On December 2, 1992, Sony Pictures Entertainment made a deal to acquire the Barry & Enright game show library, in a separate deal, struck a 10-year licensing agreement for the rights to the Mark Goodson game show library of more than 20,000 episodes including among others, What's My Line?, Family Feud, To Tell the Truth.

Upon the deal, Sony said it would sell an equity stake in the network to Mark Goodson Productions, including the production of new original series by Jonathan Goodson Productions. Both deals were completed on December 1992, eleven days before Mark Goodson's death. On June 6, 1994, Mark Goodson Productions pulled out of the venture. Game Show Network launched at 7:00 p.m. on December 1, 1994. The first aired game show was What's My Line?. From 1994 until about 1997, the network aired classic pre-1972 game shows as well as game shows made after 1972, most of which came from the Mark Goodson–Bill Todman library; the network used to air live interstitials as wraparound programming. In its first few months, GSN's commercials consisted of public service announcements, promotions for its programming and commercials related to network parent company Sony. By 1995, when the network began to expand, the network began accepting conventional advertising as it gained new sponsorships. On March 17, 1997, the Game Show Network rebranded with a new presentation package, a new logo, a new slogan: "All Play, All Day".

The network's new promos and new idents were designed by graphics agency Lee Hunt Associates. On October 11, 1997, the network's rights to the Goodson-Todman library expired, with the exceptions of The Price Is Right and the 1994–95 season of Family Feud, which were both allowed to continue airing on the channel on a separate contract; this period lasted until April 18, 1998. With the other Goodson-Todman shows gone, lesser-known Sony properties such as Juvenile Jury, The Diamond Head Game, the 1976–77 version of Break the Bank, the Bill Cullen-hosted games Chain Reaction and Pass the Buck all found their way onto the schedule. Shows from Chuck Barris aired during this time, including The Newlywed Game, The Dating Game, The Gong Show, Treasure Hunt, 3's a Crowd. Game Show Network aired a children's game show block at this time, featuring Joker! Joker! Joker!, Jep!, Wheel 2000 – the respective adaptations of The Joker's Wild, Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune. On April 18, 1998, Game Show Network bought back the rights to the Goodson-Todman library.

In late 1998, GSN eliminated all of its live programming, replacing them with in-show advertisements like Win TV. In 1999, the network began a slate of original programming, including Inquizition, All New 3's a Crowd, Hollywood Showdown; the channel launched original shows such as Extreme Gong. In 2000, the network lost the rights to The Price Is Right, with the last episode airing on April 3 of that year. In 2001, a massive change in both leadership and programming at the network took place when Liberty Media acquired a 50% stake. Both President Michael Fleming and vice president Jake Tauber departed and former Fox Family Channel president Rich Cronin was hired to head the network, he and incoming vice president Bob Boden began the biggest original programming venture since the network's inception, launching Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck, Friend or Foe?, Russian Roulette, WinTuition, Cram. In the Fall of 2001, the network acquired the rights to air the classic Press Your Luck but, due to pressure from CBS, the Michael Larson episodes were excluded.

CBS gave Game Show Network the rights to the Larson episodes, airing them in a separate package, as well as in conjunction with an original documentary called Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal. In the Fall of 2003, Game Show Network picked up the rights to the ABC version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with Regis Philbin. In December of that year, the network began airing GSN Video Games. On March 15, 2004, Game Show Network began using the abbreviation "GSN" and introduced the tagline "The Network for Games", a move in line with the network expanding its programming to include the genre of reality television and various other competitions. GSN introduced the original series at 10:00 p.m. weekdays, World Series of Blackjack, National Lampoon's Greek Games, Kenny vs. Spenny, the short-lived Fake-a-Date, a find-a-mate program with host Evan Marriott, the original Joe Millionaire. GSN added reruns of The Mole and Spy TV. Blackjack and Poker Royale signified the beginnings of GSN's attempts to cash in on the T

Jeseník, Frývaldov until 1947 is a town in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic, the administrative capital of Jeseník District. The original name was Freiwaldau. – the name means “free from the woods”. The former Czech name of Frývaldov was a phonetic transcription of the German original. After Second World War the town was renamed along with many other towns containing German elements in their names, it is named after the surrounding mountains which are called Jeseníky. The town is located in the historic Czech Silesia region on the Bělá River, a tributary of the Nysa Kłodzka, it is situated within the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range, north of the Praděd peak. In the west are the foothills of the Golden Mountains Bukovice Dětřichov Jeseník Lázně Jeseník Freiwaldau in the Duchy of Silesia founded in the course of the German Ostsiedlung, was first mentioned in 1267, when it held the status of a town belonging to the territory of the Bishops of Wrocław. With the surrounding villages it became part of the bishops' ecclesiastical Duchy of Nysa in 1290.

In the 14th century Freiwaldau developed as a centre of iron production with several foundries and hammer mills processing the ore from the productive deposits in the surrounding mountains. On, the flourishing town was purchased by the Swabian Fugger dynasty. In 1506 the Bishop Johann Thurzó vested its citizens with Bergregal privileges. After the iron ore deposits were exhausted, the Fugger sold the town back to the Wrocław bishops in 1547 and linen weaving became the most important source of income. Silesia with the Lands of the Bohemian Crown had passed to the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy in 1526, it remained with the Austrian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, until World War I and the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. According to the Austrian administration census of 1910 the town had 6,859 inhabitants, 6,619 of whom had permanent residence there; the census asked people for their native language: 6,588 were speaking German, 16 Czech and 13 Polish. Jews were not allowed to declare Yiddish, most of them thus declared German.

Most populous religious groups were Roman Catholics with 6,552, followed by Protestants with 208 and the Jews with 83. On November 25, 1931, the local Communist party organised a hunger march of around 1,000 unemployed stoneworkers to Freiwaldau; the police chief at Setzdorf instructed his men to prevent the demonstration from reaching the town. The police forced the marchers to take an alternative route through the forest; the police soon caught up with them at Nieder-Lindewiese, a clash ensued during which the marchers threw sticks and other objects at the gendarmes. After two stones hit the commander of the unit, First Lieutenant Oldřich Jirkovský, on the forehead, gave his men the order to fire on the crowd; as a result, ten people, including six women - among them a 60-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl - were killed and fifteen men and women injured and taken to the hospital in Freiwaldau. The Vienna Neue Zeitung attributed the march to the growing indebtedness of local stone- and chalkworkers, who could no longer earn enough for subsistence.

From 1938 to 1945 it was one of the municipalities in Sudetenland. The German population was expelled according to the Beneš Decrees in 1945.

Saint Mary's Square is a park and urban square across California Street from Old St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco's Chinatown, in the U. S. state of California. It features a statue of Sun Yat-sen by Beniamino Bufano; the “Women’s Column of Strength” is a funded statue, placed in 2017 after being approved by the Board of Supervisors. The memorial is controversial as the sculpture honors the comfort women who were women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army in occupied territories before and during World War II; the mayor of Osaka, Japan stated he would sever the sister-city relationship with San Francisco as "the relationship of trust has been destroyed". A gingko biloba tree planted in March 2017 honors Chinatown activist Rose Pak. St. Mary's Square includes the former location of the Kong Chow Temple.
