“Wheel of Fortune” and “Jeopardy” have each been renewed for two more seasons, CBS TV Distribution announced Thursday.
All hosts, Alex Trebek (“Jeopardy”), Pat Sajak and Vanna White (“Wheel of Fortune”), have signed on through the 2017–2018, as well.
“Not only are 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy' iconic brands that have consistently delivered ratings and revenue to stations for years, but they are beloved by viewers who have made them appointment viewing in households across the country,” Joe DiSalvo, president of sales for CBS Television Distribution commented. “They are two of the most sought after shows by political advertisers, so our station partners will benefit from locking up these shows through the upcoming 2016 presidential election season.”
Both series, hailing from Sony Pictures Television, are television’s top game shows, bringing in more than 10 million viewers each day. “Wheel of Fortune” has been the top game show in syndication, since it’s start.
