Channel 8 held the local syndication rights to the game shows "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" for several years starting in the early 1980s. After spending eighteen years in the 6:30 p.m. slot, WFAA dropped "Wheel", as well as "Jeopardy!", from its schedule in the fall of 2005. Both series moved to KTVT, with the former being replaced by "Entertainment Tonight", which prior to the change, Channel 8 had aired following "Nightline" since it acquired the rights to "ET" from KDFW in September 1984 (currently, the Dallas–Fort Worth market is one of the few in which "Wheel" and "Jeopardy!" air on separate stations, as the latter program eventually moved to KTXA (channel 21) in 2013).
