Also, the repeat of CWOF that aired on ABC on June 7 (#PT-311, OAD 5/10/23), which immediately followed Pat's finale in the Top 4 Nielsen markets, and was opposite the Daytime Emmys on CBS, scored 4.1 million viewers, beating all network programs on both broadcast and cable networks in total viewers, and placing second in the 18-49 demographic (0.37) only behind WWE Friday Night Smackdown on FOX (0.61/2.2 million viewers).

Sajak’s June 7 farewell on Wheel of Fortune, which he hosted for more than 40 years, drew 11.03 million viewers, the biggest tune-in for the syndicated series since April 29, 2020 (when TV viewing was experiencing a surge due to pandemic lockdowns). Excluding live sports, it was the most-watched program on broadcast or cable TV, at any time of day, for the week of June 3-9. Only game two of the NBA Finals (12.31 million viewers on June 9) outdrew Wheel of Fortune.

Both figures ranked first among syndicated programming for June 3-9. Additionally, all five weekday episodes of Wheel of Fortune ranked in the top 15 among all network, cable and syndicated telecasts (there were about 28,000 in all) for the week.
