Marc, I have a question for tomorrow's Podcast.

I was reading the numbers on Wheel of Fortune and Jeapordy, and they get 8-9 million viewers each. So why doesn't a network buy them and air them in prime time? I bet they would get above 10 million, which would be really good, especially in terms of summer numbers. Are there some kind of rights or ownership contracts stopping them?

Great question, Justin. And I will answer it today. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, Marc. Had I known you were going to read it word for word, I would've made it sound a little more professional

Oh and Marc, if you don't mind, I have a minor question. Since the digital broadcast change was mentioned, I came to wondering, how do you think the impact will be on the ratings after the digital broadcast change, if any?

Thanks again!
