August closed out with small changes for syndicated game shows, as new seasons (or no seasons) beckon in September. TVNewsCheck brings the up-and-down news for the week ending August 28...Wheel of Fortune 6.1 - up a tick
Jeopardy 5.1 - up a nice three ticks from previous season low
Family Feud 2.4 - up a tick
Millionaire 2.2 - down a tick
5th Grader 0.9 - down a tick as the last days count off
Lyrics 0.7 - flat and there's no reprieve from the governor
TV by the Numbers is downright prompt with their viewership averages for the week: Wheel of Fortune 9.4 million, Jeopardy 7.7 million and Family Feud 3.6 million. Meredith missed the cut on the top 25 list, as did Wheel's weekend repeat.
Variety gets statistical and explains how Nielsen's new GAA numbers help double-run syndies. The change happened last March and this will be the first full syndie season with the new measuring stick.
