Pay TV, while newer, has faced more significant declines. Pay TV penetration, on the other hand, fell 20 percentage points between 2014 and 2023, according to data firm Statista. In the third quarter of last year, the pay TV industry shrank at a record pace, analysts at MoffettNathanson said in their latest cord-cutting report. "Terrestrial radio has stayed steady even as other mediums like satellite radio, podcasts and Apple CarPlay have come on board," said Guggenheim media analyst Curry Baker. Contests and sweepstakes represent another unique draw to terrestrial radio.

One by one, as streaming services grow in popularity, old standbys of the TV landscape are falling by the wayside. The number of soap operas, a decades-old linchpin of daytime television, has fallen to a small handful. Hit daytime talk shows — once hosted by the likes of Phil Donahue, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres — are becoming rarer by the year. On CBS, one of the longest-running shows, “The Price Is Right,” is getting a new studio. This week, Sony, the studio behind both “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune,” gave the genre an emphatic vote of confidence.

☆ Ryan Seacrest Named New Host of ‘Wheel of Fortune’

Ryan Seacrest, the dexterous Hollywood master of ceremonies, will be named the next host of “Wheel of Fortune,” succeeding the longtime host Pat Sajak in 2024, according to two people familiar with the plan. The prompt selection of a star like Mr. Seacrest, made just two weeks after Mr. Sajak announced he would step down next year after more than four decades on the job, is a big bet on “Wheel of Fortune.” The show has demonstrated remarkable durability even as traditional television has declined in the wake of streaming entertainment. The swift decision by executives at Sony Pictures Television, which produces the show, also suggests that they are hoping to avoid the succession fiasco that nearly overwhelmed their other hit game show, “Jeopardy!’Vanna White, Mr. Sajak’s longtime “Wheel of Fortune” co-host, is under contract for another year, and is in negotiations to continue with the show, said one of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential..

Sarah Pribis is a working actor who also makes TikToks explaining her range of jobs and pay. I had never done stand-in work before. The reasons that I've gathered that it was so much — because this is not the norm for stand-in work — is that it was a commercial job, and commercial rates for stand-in work are higher. I've built a career as a working actor and want to demystify the experienceI've been doing this since I was 18.
