An incomplete timeline for the daytime Wheel of Fortune, which will likely never be complete for reasons listed below. As daytime did not use seasons, and since the show debuted in January, this timeline is divided by year. For the nighttime version, see Wheel of Fortune timeline (syndicated).
Due to practices of the era and Merv Griffin Productions, most episodes from 1975-85 were destroyed or recorded over; a list of what we know to survive can be found here. Further, Game Show Network (henceforth referred to as GSN) has only aired three daytime episodes. As a result of these, some information comes from recollections and print articles.
