They're still being broadcast at that hour, after at least twenty years. 
And I suspect you're right: they're too lucrative to surrender.

I underwent training in hospital chaplaincy back in the mid-'80s, and 
frequently spent evenings going from room to room.  I quickly learned that 
it was pointless to try to make visits to most elderly patients between 7 
and 8 --- they did NOT want to talk during "Wheel of Fortune" and 
"Jeopardy."

I'm sure advertisers count on that loyalty.
