Game Show Network

GSN (formerly called Game Show Network) is a cable niche channel which debuted on December 1, 1994. The network was originally 100% dedicated to classic game shows with some original programming to supplement that, but began removing most of the classics in favor of original programming and more recent games.

Wheel Reruns
Wheel of Fortune was among the shows presented on GSN's first day, which began with the syndicated premiere from 1983. The episode was prefaced by an intro by one of the network's on-air personalities, Peter Tomarken, which consisted of a brief-but-thorough essay on the show's history while clips from the nighttime premiere played next to him. This included a statement that the daytime show ran for a grand total of 4,215 episodes.

GSN has aired many nighttime episodes, barring Seasons 3-4. They did air at least one Season 5 shopping episode from just prior to the Big Month of Cash, along with some episodes from that period. They also aired the entirety of Wheel 2000, which also aired on CBS. Season 12 is currently running on GSN, and has been for some time.

Generally, GSN repeats of Wheel omit any sweepstakes rules, consolation prize plugs, and contestant/audience plugs; they further "crunch" the credits. These tactics are generally frowned upon by game show fans, who prefer "complete" airings.

The daytime version, on the other hand, has remained largely untouched minus three episodes (see below).

Merv Griffin Tribute
In 2007, following the death of series creator Merv Griffin, GSN aired several Wheel and Jeopardy! episodes in tribute. While the Jeopardy! marathon only consisted of the Million-Dollar Masters tournament, Wheel fans got a bit more variety:

Daytime
 * June 7, 1976 (#368; only Chuck Woolery episode reran)
 * December 13, 1982 (Vanna White's first permanent show)
 * January 9, 1989 (Pat Sajak's last daytime show)

Nighttime
 * September 19, 1983 (nighttime premiere)
 * October 5, 1987 (first episode of the Big Month of Cash)
 * November 14, 1988 (first show from Radio City Music Hall)
 * February 24, 1997 (debut of the electronic puzzle board)
 * April 1, 1997 (Alex Trebek and Lesly Sajak guest-host while Pat and Vanna play for charity)
 * November 10, 2003 (4,000th nighttime episode)

Promos
GSN has done several promos for Wheel, including a commercial parodying the wrestling company then known as WWF with Pat "Powerhouse" Sajak.

Another Wheel-esque promo was part of the network's semi-generic "Get In The Game" promotion around 2007. The faux Wheel includes spaces such as $0, $10,000, Bankrupt, and a Jackpot wedge somewhat resembling its 1986-88 daytime version; the wedges all had a white border on the sides, which resulted in Bankrupt looking much like it did in 1975.
