Since 1990, the syndicated Wheel moved to all the ABC O&O stations.

Very nice, thanks

@gameshowluvr86 They probably did that because nighttime Wheel was on CBS O&Os while the daytime version was on NBC, and they didn't want to confuse anyone.

@gameshowluvr86 Maybe it was a clue to where Wheel's distributed now.

Okay, the cameraman works for NBC, but is wearing a CBS jacket??

@zachhoran You're right, Dick Carson did retire in 1999. I remember that they announced his retirement on the Friday episode of "Wheel Goes to the Movies" week. At the end of that episode, he was with Pat and Vanna saying that he was retiring.
