Price is Right Producer Steps Down After 36 Years

Roger Dobkowitz, producer of the gameshow "The Price Is Right" for 36 seasons, is stepping down.
It wasn't clear whether Dobkowitz was retiring or whether he was asked to depart the post by "The Price Is Right" producer FremantleMedia. The show is currently on hiatus and will begin its 37th season in two weeks.

A daytime staple for CBS for decades, "Price" has been a primetime player this past season for the Eye as well. It fared well on Friday nights, winning its time period, but was moved to Wednesday for May sweeps and had a tougher time drawing viewers in the new slot.
