Sony and CBS are in a Jeopardy! distribution feud
Sony Pictures Television says it’s taking over the distribution rights for top game shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! from Paramount-owned CBS starting the week of February 10th, reports Bloomberg, while CBS is fighting back by seeking a temporary restraining order.
According to Deadline, on Monday, CBS sent a statement to clients telling them to ignore what Sony is saying because “Sony has no rights under the distribution agreements to terminate them, and CBS remains the distributor for the Series, notwithstanding any communications from Sony to the contrary.”
Earlier last year, Sony, which produces both game shows, reportedly attempted to buy out the rights from CBS for a figure “greater than nine figures,” according to a source who spoke with Bloomberg at the time.
