Well, I wouldn't exactly call it the farewell tour yet (if you recall, it took me a good long while to enjoy the show and figured its cancellation was imminent for about seven years...plus stranger things have happened). But if your two biggest markets and your biggest champions among the stations airing your show are taking you away from the periods you've owned on those stations for years (that being KABC, WABC, and the ABC O&Os that carry Millionaire), it's pretty clear what they're trying to do.
And if they got everything done as early as they seemed to have done, maybe they just figure that they've got nothing to lose at this point because they had their fun, they made it to fourteen seasons, and they gave a ton of money away.
