List Of United States Over-the-air Television Networks
In the United States, for most of the history of broadcasting, there were only three or four major commercial national terrestrial networks. From 1946 to 1956, these were ABC, CBS, NBC and DuMont (though the Paramount Television Network had some limited success during these years). From 1956 to 1986, the " Big Three" national commercial networks were ABC, CBS, and NBC (with a few limited attempts to challenge them, such as National Telefilm Associates nd its NTA Film Network">NTA_Film_Network.html" ;"title="nd its NTA Film Network">nd its NTA Film Networkand the Overmyer Network).

Burning Off
In American broadcast programming, "burning off" is the custom of quickly airing the remaining episodes of a television program, usually one that has already been or is planned to be cancelled, without the intent to attract a large number of viewers. In addition to airing episodes two at a time, this process may also include rescheduling the show to a lower-rated time slot, or transferring the show to a less visible sister network. A low-rated show that premiered in the early portion of the regular television season may return during the summer, only to have the final episodes "burned off." Abandoned programs may be burned off for a number of reasons: * The program must air to meet contractual or legal requirements. * The production company needs enough first-run episodes to meet minimum requirements for broadcast syndication (though with the rise of streaming video platforms, this has become less of a concern). * Their use as " filler" is perceived as slightly more profitable ...

Debuting in 1968, the program was created by Don Hewitt and Bill Leonard, who chose to set it apart from other news programs by using a unique style of reporter-centered investigation.

Match Game
''Match Game'' is an American television panel game show that premiered on NBC in 1962 and has been revived several times over the course of the last six decades. The game features contestants trying to match answers given by celebrity panelists to fill-in-the-blank questions.

Press Your Luck
''Press Your Luck'' is an American television game show created by Bill Carruthers and Jan McCormack. It premiered on CBS daytime on September 19, 1983, and ended on September 26, 1986.

Celebrity Family Feud
''Celebrity Family Feud'' is a broadcast network spin-off of the syndicated American game show ''Family Feud''. Like the primetime ''All-Star Specials'' aired during the late 1970s and early 1980s by the show's then-network home ABC, the episodes feature teams of celebrities playing as a 'family' for charity, rather than the regular format of real families playing for cash and prizes. The current version, outside the one-season summer format on NBC, has aired as a summer series on ABC since 2015, as a part of that network's "Summer Fun & Games" blocks of primetime game shows. History The first incarnation of the spin-off was broadcast in 2008 by NBC as part of a block of summer reality series it branded as ''All-American Summer''. Instead of featuring the host of the syndicated version at the time, John O'Hurley (who was hosting the short-lived '' Secret Talents of the Stars'' for CBS), the NBC celebrity version was hosted by Al Roker of NBC's morning show ''Today''.
