Buzzr is both a former YouTube channel and current multi-station digital TV network of the same name that's devoted to air nothing but classic Fremantle-owned game shows. The brand name itself was inspired by a game show buzzer (or lock-out device) in which contestants use on certain game shows (mainly trivia) in order to guess their answers.
