Given that game shows are quite on the ebb as a genre, I don't see that happening.

The only way I could see affiliated stations even considering surrendering the 10-11am ET block to the network is if affiliate compensation was brought back.
The fact that
The Price Is Right has been on the air for close to a third of a century is darned near miraculous. And how many of us back in the day REALLY thought Bob Barker would still be hosting the show at the age of 80?

I think it's a matter that there really isn't anything left for the game show genre except what's on the air now. Especially with the court shows being a mix of reality TV, what passes for game shows, and Jerry Springer, it's becoming harder to see a return of the game show to daytime is so far out of the question, it's hardly consider-able.
