Game Show Network launched at 7:00 p.m. on December 1, 1994. The first aired game show was "What's My Line?". By the launch date the network had secured rights to over 40,000 episodes from the libraries of several game show production companies and corporate parent Sony. The initial lineup was exclusively acquired programming such as "Match Game", "Family Feud", "Newlywed Game", "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune". The network eventually began producing original game shows such as "Lingo", "Whammy!", "Inquizition", and "Extreme Gong".
