"GSN Radio" is a live interactive internet radio game show on GSN.com, hosted by husband and wife team Bob Goen and Marianne Curan. Bil Dwyer fills in when one of the hosts is unavailable. The four-hour program features interactive games that listeners can play to win cash and other prizes. The show airs from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern every Monday through Friday afternoon.

Format

"GSN Radio" is an internet radio game show in which home listeners are the contestants. Listeners of age 21 or older can enter the contest by using the network's website or dialing a phone number, both of which are methods free of charge. If an entry is selected to participate in the game, the contestant is called on his telephone. The contestant then, either alone or with an opponent, plays live on-air. A contestant may enter 25 times per method per each 24-hour period. Two weeks after the original 24-hour period in which an entry was submitted, that entry is cleared from the queue, and any entrants who wish to play more games are required to re-enter.

Some special games (occasionally referred to as Marquis Games) require that listeners register specifically for them on the "GSN Radio" website. For these games, a contestant may enter 50 times per method per each 24-hour period. These entries are not grouped with the entries of the regular games. All entries are cleared from the queue after the game is declared won (or over). Any entrants who wish to play another special game are required to re-enter.

Regardless of the method of entry, each entry has an equal chance of being selected. An entry does not necessarily guarantee an opportunity to appear on the show. cite web|url=http://www.gsn.com/radio/rules_official.html|title="GSN Radio" Official Rules|accessdate=2008-08-18]

Games

"GSN Radio" features various minigames that are played throughout the program. The rewards for the games are usually prizes of up to $200 in cash, although some games have potential payouts reaching as high as $2,500. Imagination Games partners with GSN to bring some of their original and licensed games to the radio format.

In a situation where a tie is needed to be broken, a question related to the game is posed. The first contestant to yell out his name will be given a chance to answer. If his answer is correct, he will be declared the winner. If he is incorrect, his opponent will win by default. cite web|url=http://www.gsn.com/radio/rules_gameguide.html|title="GSN Radio" Game Guide|accessdate=2008-08-18]

These games are commonly played in rotation on "GSN Radio".
