Viewers and advertisers alike love these shows, and we are excited that this deal continues the legacy of these brands for years to come.” “This new deal is a testament to the power of these shows and the power of broadcast television. “ Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! are the crown jewels of syndication, drawing larger audiences than almost every prime-time broadcast show,” Steve LoCascio, President of CBS Media Ventures said. Sony Pictures Television produces both Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and CBS Media Ventures distributes both series. Jeopardy! is co-hosted by Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik and is the most-watched show in syndication with around 9M viewers weekly, while Wheel of Fortune is hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White and is the second most-watched same-day entertainment show on TV after only 60 Minutes.īoth shows have aired on ABC Owned Television Stations in major markets for over 30 years and currently air on numerous ABC stations, including those in the top four markets: WABC, New York KABC, Los Angeles WLS, Chicago and WPVI, Philadelphia.
The move means that Wheel of Fortune, which is now exec produced by Bellamie Blackstone, will be moving into its 41st season, with Jeopardy!, which is exec produced by Michael Davies, will be going into its 40th season.
