It isn't on the air yet in northeastern Ohio, and I'm not sure when (or if) it will be. Even if it does appear on OTA TV here, I don't know when it will be on streaming video services such as Roku, Google TV, et al. These services often wait quite a while before adding new streaming channels. For example, I don't remember how long it was before Roku started streaming Antenna TV (the TWC TV app, TW's local TV streaming application does now, though).

Do the same regulations regarding carriage of cable TV channels apply to streaming video services as well as to cable itself? It took Roku a long time to get all the major streaming channels on its TWC TV application, and it may be months, even a year (!) or more before the service adds Buzzr TV. To date there are no game show channels being streamed on Roku; I don't know about Google TV or Apple TV. I'm thinking the reason TW Cable and Roku do not yet have Buzzr TV is that, as I mentioned above, none of the local Cleveland TV stations are yet carrying the network on subchannels. We just recently got LAFF TV on a subchannel of ABC channel 5 in Cleveland, so there may be more such channels in the works. Buzzr TV may well be coming to this area, but when and on which station's subchannel remains to be seen.
