Fremantle noted that the addition was being done for two reasons: to increase the number of "Match Game" episodes available for the network to rerun, and to add some form of "Hollywood Squares" (which the network does not own; ViacomCBS' CBS Television Distribution unit is the current rightsholder to the show's format and episodes produced since 1998 and additionally MGM owns rights to "Hollywood Squares" episodes produced until 1989) onto the channel's lineup. Former host Bauman wrote on Twitter, "Understand that this was the only completely honest version of Hwd Squares ever where no Squares were sitting there with the punch lines of the jokes in front of them." On September 12, 2019, it was reported that Buzzr's new primetime lineup would feature the show, starting September 30. The theme of "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour" was composed by Edd Kalehoff. The theme and the music played during the show's ticket plug are used as car and showcase cues on "The Price Is Right", as well as the 1986–89 version of "Card Sharks". A revamp of the theme, "Lottery", was used by WNEV-TV/WHDH-TV in Boston during the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as several local Illinois game shows; it can also be heard at the stage show "The Price Is Right Live!" The theme was also used as a cue on the British version of "The Price Is Right" (more specifically "The New Price Is Right") hosted by Bob Warman, which briefly aired on Sky from 1989 until 1990.
