17, but ABC opted to air the new game show “Duel” that week.

There had been a plan for “Bingo” to return as a five-night strip during the week of Dec. In July, the network picked up the show for a second season, despite low ratings, because of the popularity of its interactive component. The future of “National Bingo Night” at ABC is up in the air. “It has such a broad appeal that there is a smart, fast-paced, nightly format to be had,” he said. Glassman said that from the get-go, his plan had been “to find multiple outlets” for bingo-themed game shows. “National Bingo Night” aired in the summer as a weekly one-hour series. “It is based around the same premise of interactivity,” he said, “but it is completely different and custom designed for a nightly half-hour strip.” Glassman said “Bingo America” will be very different from “National Bingo Night,” which also allowed viewers to download cards and play along. “Andrew and his team have created something unique that truly works for all kinds of GSN viewers - traditional game show fans and engaged viewers who want to sit forward and play along for real prizes,” GSN senior vp programming Jamie Roberts said.

Fans also will be able to receive “bonus numbers” via text messaging. Additionally, viewers will have another chance to cash in during the show’s final round, the Bonus Game, where anyone whose “bonus numbers” on their downloaded cards match the numbers selected on-air becomes an instant winner.

Viewers will be able to download up to 10 bingo cards a day on GSN.com and then play along with the broadcast.
