From doing a quick reading on Wikipedia, there was 7,000 Sajak/White episodes as of 2019, so now it is probably around 7,400 shows.
Why not have a 24 hour, 7 day a week channel that shows nothing but reruns of Wheel of Fortune? I calculate it would take 97 days and 5 hours to watch 7000 episodes of Wheel of Fortune.
7000 episodes (x) 20 minutes=140,000 minutes/60=2333.3 hours/24=97.2 days.
Adding in commercials running all 7,000 shows might take around four to five months.
This can also work with Jeopardy and since Alex Trabek is now dead, people might be clamoring to see him in reruns, and his show has been on about as long as Wheel of Fortune.
I am sure that Merv Griffin Enterprises or whoever owns the show has all the episodes in some vault or wherever, why don’t they do this? Seems like a moneymaker to me.
