Game Show Central features both current/recent Game Show Network originals like ''[[America Says]]'' and older shows such as ''[[Cram (game show)|Cram]]'', ''[[Friend or Foe?

At launch, it was primarily carried on stations—many of them being [[Ion (TV network)|Ion]] affiliates—owned by the [[E. W. Scripps Company]] and Inyo Broadcast Holdings, replacing Sony-owned classic television network [[Get (TV network)|Get]] (which temporarily replaced [[Scripps News]] on their stations following that network’s November 2024 conversion into a streaming-only service) on the majority of its charter affiliates. The broadcast feed maintains a separate schedule, incorporating additional archived Game Show Network originals not carried on the cable and streaming channels—including some previously featured on the streaming feed—such as ''[[The Newlywed Game]]'' ([[Sherri Shepherd]] and [[Carnie Wilson]] runs), ''Blank Slate'', ''[[Master Minds (American game show)|Best Ever Trivia Show]]'', ''[[Winsanity]]'' and ''[[Lingo (American game show)|Lingo]]'' ([[Bill Engvall]] run).
