Both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are headed for a streaming deal for the first time.
The owner, Sony Pictures Entertainment, will be looking to attract a larger and younger audience to the long-running formats.
Yesterday, the parent company confirmed that it was soliciting bids from major companies in the media and tech sectors.
An executive from the company confirmed that it expects to clinch a deal by early April as it is in talks with several streaming services.
Jeopardy! first premiered on TV screens in 1964, before Wheel Of Fortune was launched a year later.
According to Nielsen ratings, both shows attracted a huge audience with seven million Americans watching each night.
