According to Deadline, CBS and Sony Pictures Television have come to a conclusion and settled their differences when it comes to Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. The two companies spent the last year debating over the syndicated distribution rights to the two game shows and have finally reached a mutual agreement.

As per Deadline, earlier this year, Sony informed CBS Media Ventures that it was taking over global distribution of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, after this move the Paramount-owned company claimed was “false”. This came after Sony filed a breach of contract suit last year. Sony accused CBS of licensing the shows at “below market” rates, “failed to maximize advertising revenue,” and “undercut” the shows through “self-preferencing.”

According to Deadline, in April, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted a preliminary injunction to Sony Pictures Television in the case, denying CBS’ bid to block the former from distributing the shows. In May, CBS gained the rights until the case reached its conclusion. In June, Sony gained a number of a a number of multi-year streaming deals for the shows with Peacock and Hulu that allows both shows to stream the day after they aired. Keith LeGoy, Chairman, Sony Pictures Television, said that these streaming rights were “completely separate” to its syndicated deals.

As per Deadline, after a long year of going back and forth, the two companies have come to a resolution and agreed that CBS will remain the exclusive domestic distributor of the shows in syndication and continue to deliver the shows through the 2027-2028 season. After this is over, Sony Pictures Television will become the exclusive domestic distributor of both game shows. CBS will also expand its role and exclusively lead all advertising sales through the 2029/2030 season. Although this is the case, moving forward the marketing, promotions and affiliate relations for the shows will transition to Sony at the end of the 2025-2026 season and Sony will continue to manage brand integrations with international distribution rights to the shows.

In a joint statement, Sony Pictures Television and CBS Media Ventures via Deadline added, “We have reached an amicable resolution regarding the syndicated distribution of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. We look forward to working together to continue bringing these beloved shows to audiences and stations around the world.”
