Wheel of Fortune
In 1989, The daytime version of Wheel, having been canceled by NBC, moved over to UBC instead of CBS, and it also began taping at Television City. Because of this, there are many major changes:


 * The Shopping Format still remains since the move from the NBC Studios in Burbank to Television City which led to the Cancellation of the Syndicated Version in which viewers doesn't like The Big Month/Bonanza of Cash during the 1987-1988 season, because People opt to change the Channel to Press Your Luck which is currently on It's second year on Syndication and boosted it's ratings big time, that led to UBC picking up a Revival of Supermarket Sweep in 1990 (IOTL, Lifetime picked up the Revival of that show)
 * Returning Champions were never retired, and the limit was abolished in the show's 30th season (2004-2005)
 * Starting in 1997, After Bob Goen left to concentrate on Anchoring Entertainment Tonight (with Mary Hart), David Sidoni took over as the New Host and hired James Marcione on Director as a result these two are also hired for a Weekend Version of Wheel of Fortune for Kids titled Wheel 2000 beginning in 1997 and UBC ran it until 1998, Sidoni left the show in 2017 and is replaced by Alfonso Ribeiro

However 12 have prizes with a Gold star on it while 2 can contain cash amounts worth $5,000, 2 more will contain $10,000, and one will each contain $15,000, $20,000 and $25,000, In 2005 in celebration of the Show's 30th Year on Daytime a $30,000 envelope is added to bonus wheel replacing an extra $5,000 envelope and a $35,000 envelope is added in 2010 to replace an extra $10,000 envelope, Beginning in 2015 in celebration of Wheel of Fortune's 40th on Year Daytime, $40,000 is envelope is added replacing the $15,000 envelope and Starting in 2016, $1,000 will be multiplied by the number of Years Wheel of Fortune is aired on Daytime since then was added replacing the last $5,000 envelope starting with $41,000 however as of 2020 the top bonus round cash value is $45,000 in honor of Wheel of Fortune's 45th Year on Daytime.

Also, the podium was still made wider as IOTL (though the base is altered so that the host wouldn't have to shove the red contestant out of the way to do the Final Spin), and David enters from the right side of the set to their podium, while Vanna enters from the left and walks straight to the puzzleboard, staying there for their closing chat (the credits are between their shots).

Supermarket Sweep

 * UBC ran the show from 1965 to 1967, Revived in 1990 after relocating Wheel of Fortune from NBC due to the Shopping Format being Saved and still goes on to this day.
 * All teams kept any groceries accumulated and any bonuses they picked up were carried over to the 1990 revival (to quote Bill Malone "Everything you sweep, Is Yours to Keep"), but the team with the highest total score would not only earn the right to return to the show and play in the next game but gets to play the Bonus Sweep for a Cash Jackpot which starts at $5,000 (and increases $1,000 every time it's not won) but later in 2000 the jackpot now starts at $10,000, But in 2015, The Top Prize now starts at $25,000 and increases $2,500 if It's Not Won

 * All contestants keep the Groceries on the Show (but not the cash value of those goods).
 * Bonus Prizes in the Big Sweep when UBC ran the show from 1965-1967 are Five Merchandise Items ranging from $10-$100, But when UBC Revived it in 1990, The prize range is now $500 to $10,000 (later changed to $15,000 in 1995) and they are Ten Merchandise Items instead of five, however one (or more) of these prizes have a Value of More than $10,000 (usually a car or sometimes a trip) which is Scattered throughout the market along with Mystery Cash represented by Three (later changed to five in 1995) jumbo-sized stuffed animals, giant inflated balloons of products, and/or cardboard promotional signs for products, each with bonus tags attached to them, all were scattered throughout the market (worth between $500-$5,000 later up to $10,000 in 2000).
 * Although Leslie Jones took over the Job as the Host of Supermarket Sweep in September 2020 after David Ruprecht retired, Randy West (who announced the show since 2000) still remains on announcer and still does the play-by-play for the Big Sweep today. (IOTL there is No Announcer doing the PBP on the 2020 revival hosted by Leslie Jones)
