Only until I saw the blooper where they prematurely reset did I realize they had that on a turntable with the Fame Game board.

Same.
This has messed with me for a while. As a child, I remember watching $otC while home from school in summer 1988. I could’ve sworn that the Winner’s Board remained in place until then, but Wiki says December ‘87. So unless NBC showed summer reruns from late-87, I imagine my memory is fuzzy.

And the earliest full episode with the WBMG I've seen in the wild, contestants Marc/Betty/Al, ends with a 1987 copyright date in the credits.

The WBMG started just before Jay Stewart left the show (he’s still announcing when it’s introduced), and the round was still being announced as new when Don Morrow took over in early 88.

This intro was the best part of the WBMG. It's bummer they dropped it fairly quickly.
BrandonFG:
Thanks everyone. I take it the new theme song coincided with the WBMG switch?

It sure does appear that way.
