Here is an article from tvgameshows.net:

Bob Barker has one of these contracts similiar to rollover deals in college football---he can end it at the windup of almost any year.

KCBS in Los Angeles reports Barker has agreed to continue as host of "The Price Is Right" through the 2004-05 season, his 33rd with the series.

Barker's existing contract runs through 2006 but he has the right to make a decision on continuing on "Price" year-to-year.

In December, Barker celebrated his 80th birthday with a successful Saturday night prime time special. One more of the three nighttime editions is yet to be scheduled and CBS is expected to order at least three more for the May sweeps.

Barker began hosting the daytime "Price" in 1972, while still presiding over the syndicated "Truth or Consequences".

But if Bob Barker passes away, The Price is Right will take CBS off the air and moved to GSN: The Network for Games.
