USA/Global
The second version of Chain Reaction premiered in 1986, airing on the Global Television Network in Canada and the USA Network in the US. Blake Emmons hosted the show for a few weeks before being replaced by Geoff Edwards (although USA started the season by airing several weeks of Edwards episodes, then showing Emmons' reign). Rod Charlebois served as co-host/announcer, who presented the "home game" for the viewing audience. Charlebois was a local radio and television personality at CFCF radio and CFCF-TV in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where the USA version was taped. Rod was given an on-air role for most of the show's run, due to Cancon laws which required American shows taping in Canada to feature at least one Canadian personality on-air, since Edwards had no ties to the country in any way.
