I happen to read it in his autobiography book, Merv!

Oh, well then, if Merv wrote it in a book, then I'm sure it is absolutely true.

Why? He knew people would look at it and go "yeah, that's just Wheel Of Fortune", and not watch it.

He was in the production business to make MONEY. And there was none in Headline Chasers.

   Headline Chasers was on here at 5 p.m. (I think) as part of a 90-minute game block on WLWT here. NBC Wheel was on at 4, Catch Phrase at 4:30, and HC at 5.

   HC was canceled here after three months on the air.
