NBC, former co-owners of the show with Merv Griffin Enterprises, sold their rights to the syndicated version (prior to its premiere) back to Merv Griffin Enterprises in exchange for extending their contract to the daytime Wheel of Fortune (1975), a move that would cost them millions of dollars as Wheel's popularity exploded in syndication. King World, a fledgling television distributor, bought the rights at a low price and made massive profits from the investment.
