This bit of information came from Mediaweek. It may not directly involve game shows, but it will in midseason. According to experts and executives, only 1/3 of the programming will survive. Shari Anne Brill, who is the Carat vice president and director of programming, stated that only 7 of the big 31 shows are projected to be renewed. Eight are expected to be cancelled quickly. Again, these are projected figures, not exact. Now, what does this mean for game show fans? Super Millionaire and Deal or No Deal might be around in January or February if the shows go poorly.
