Every game show doesn’t have to be as colorful as Price but man- that might as well be shot in black and white if muted grey and blue makes up your entire color palette.
WEWS is a Scripps-owned station (one of their oldest), and they are chopping budgets and staff nationwide.
They used to air AC between 6-8pm on Saturday nights over the decades, which nowadays is part of the lowest-rated night in TV ratings -- the move to Saturday late-mornings placed amongst the bland E/I programming puts it even further down into TV obscurity.
I wonder if the show's sponsors (now prominently displayed on the set) are happy with that decision, likely made by Scripps.
