I know it was sometime around the game show drought of the mid-90s, and all the game shows that came along since then have pretty much followed suit.

It was near the end of the 1995-96 season when WOF and J! stopped doing announcer-read fee plugs. Though there were still an occasional plug or two still read by the announcer for a couple years after that. Both Syndie WOF and J! started out having a combo of announcer-read fee plugs and mini-ads, but by the second season of each, only announcer-read fee plugs were done.
