Starting at October 19, 1992, the closing theme for the show (Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune) would fade out as this logo appeared and the show's announcer (Johnny Gilbert on the former, Charlie O'Donnell on the latter) identified the company. A drumroll would play while the title card/copyright info graphic was shown, followed by the then-current King World logo with its music AND the announcement "Distributed by King World." Here are the announcements used:

Jeopardy! (Johnny Gilbert): "This is Johnny Gilbert speaking. (on the 1984 MGE logo with Sony Pictures byline) Jeopardy! is a production of Merv Griffin Enterprises.'"
Wheel of Fortune (Charlie O'Donnell): "(on the 1984 MGE logo with Sony Pictures byline) Merv Griffin Enterprises produces... (copyright screen appears/drumroll starts) Wheeeeel of Fortune!"
Merv Griffin Enterprises "90s Griffin" logo debuted in April 1, 1993.

You were right about the latter announcements. Do you find this valuable?
