Title: Syndicated DoND
Post by: MizzouRah! on August 11, 2008, 11:00:17 PM
Our local ABC station started running ads for DoND in the 6:30p.m. central time slot(replacing Inside Edition), opposite WoF. Obviously some stations are giving it a shot in prime access. Any thoughts on whether this might have a chance at pulling some decent numbers against 20+ years of the Wheel ratings monopoly? My opinion...If they play the game(no reality concepts like the NBC version) and keep it moving, it may have a legitimate shot. Could this be one reason for the new $1,000,000 Wheel?

[/quote] I doubt it; I think the Wheel watchers are creatures of habit. Though it's a race between two fairly "tune-out" game shows.

I think the two are merely coincidentally adjacent.
