An upload of the original airing of the 11/12/2013 episode (Walmart Family Week/Secret Santa I, Day 2) is one of the few full episodes of Wheel that managed to avoid getting removed by Sony.
This month, the Secret Santa and Christmas episodes from Season 31 are airing on GSN, and YouTubers (likely bots) have been quick on the uploads, so at least for now, both the original and GSN versions of this episode are on YouTube.
On GSN, about 16 seconds of the intro are removed up to the title card and chant. A whopping 73 seconds are edited out after the Speed-Up round (no parting words for the losing teams), and another 28 are edited the instant Pat states the final winning total before he can throw to the SPIN ID. Vanna is also cut off before she can even get out the whole word "goodbye" before the credits. This is just under a total of 2 minutes of the show proper that is cut, and this does not count the various plugs that are cut as well, such as the Mystery Round sponsor (though the logo above the board remains), and the closed captioning plug with Vanna's preceding voiceover.
Original airing, recorded off WJLA Washington DC with commercials, likely a VHS recording judging by the 4:3 aspect ratio, low quality, and static at the end.
