Page "Match Game" Paragraph 47

Every New Year's Eve, when the two-digit year designation in the Match Game sign was updated, there was a New Year's party with the cast and studio audience.

Up to and including the 1977 – 1978 changeover, a new sign was built each year.

Coinciding with a redesign of the set, a new sign was built with interchangeable digits that could be swapped as the years changed.

Additionally, this sign allowed for a " PM " logo to be attached for tapings of the syndicated program instead of using an entirely different sign.
