"Not only are Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardyiconic 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,” CBSTVD president of sales Joe DiSalvo said. “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.”
Wheel has been the No. 1 syndicated game show since its inception, earning seven Emmys. Jeopardy is the No. 2 syndicated game show and hold the Guinness World Records title for most Emmys won by a game show with 31.
