CBS Gains ‘Jeopardy!' & ‘Wheel Of Fortune' Distribution Rights At Least Until Legal Battle With Sony Is Over
UPDATED, 2:35 PM: Sony and CBS spun the wheel one more time this month over who controls Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, and the still Shari Redstone-owned company hit the game show jackpot. Solidifying what a three-judge panel from the Second Appellate District temporarily put in place last month, that same panel has now ruled that CBS will remain the sole distributor of the lucrative Jeopardy! and now Ryan Seacrest hosted Wheel. More from Deadline 'Jeopardy!' & 'Wheel of Fortune' Legal Shocker: CBS Loses Out To Sony In Court Battle Over Rights To Distribute Game Shows Wink Martindale Dies: Game Show Host Of 'Tic-Tac-Dough', 'Gambit' And 'High Rollers' Was 91 Paramount Offers Millions To Trump To End $20B '60 Minutes' Suit & Let Skydance Merger Go Through 'Pending disposition of this appeal, the trial court's order of April 10, 2025 finding that 'Sony can begin distributing the Shows and need not deliver episodes to CBS' is hereby stayed, including all matters embraced therein or affected thereby by the trial court's order,' ordered Appeal Court Judges Gonzalo Martinez, John Segal and Natalie Stone on Wednesday in a short ruling after reviewing arguments from both sides. You can read the ruling here. The decision puts the shows in CBS' hands for the entire duration of the court battle between the network and Sony. CBS had 'no comment' on yesterday's ruling. Sony did not reply to request from Deadline for comment on the order. The once partnered companies have been in a breach-of-contract dispute since October 31 over CBS' more than 40-year-old distribution contract and claims by Sony Pictures TV of CBS licensing the blockbuster shows at below-market rates and engaging in 'self-dealing.' PREVIOUSLY, APRIL 16 PM: This is why they call it Jeopardy! Less than a week after Sony snagged back the distribution rights to the Ken Jennings-hosted game show and Wheel of Fortune, a California appeals court today handed those rights back to CBS, at least for now. 'The superior court's order of April 10, 2025 denying the preliminary injunction and allowing Respondents to begin 'distributing the shows and need not deliver episodes to CBS' is stayed pending further order of this court,' a three-judge panel from the Second Appellate District ordered Wednesday. With the petition for writ of supersedeas filed by CBS on April 11, Sony now has until April 28 to respond, with the Shari Redstone-owned CBS giving its reply by May 9. All of that means those new deals and platforms that Sony was hoping for the beloved and money-making game shows are in legal purgatory for at least a month. CBS had no further comment besides its petition and today's order. Sony did not respond to Deadline's request for comment Wednesday. The once-chummy companies have been in a breach-of-contract dispute since October 31 over CBS' more than 40-year-old distribution contract and claims by Sony Pictures TV of CBS licensing the blockbuster shows at below-market rates and engaging in 'self-dealing.' After a judicial pingpong match, things went sideways for CBS when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kevin Brazile last Thursday favored Sony over CBS Media Ventures' pitch to pause Sony taking over full distribution of Wheel and Jeopardy! Agreements for the Merv Griffin shows have been place since 1982 and under the respective umbrellas of CBS and Sony since the late 1990s. Which begs the question: What is hassle?

CBS allowed to distribute Sony's 'Wheel of Fortune,' 'Jeopardy' during lawsuit appeal
CBS has notched another small victory in its legal battle with Sony Pictures Television, winning an appellate court ruling that allows the network to continue to distribute 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy' as its court case continues. Sony owns the shows and produces them on its Culver City lot. Last month, a Los Angeles judge ruled that Sony was no longer obligated to provide episodes to CBS, which has served for decades as the conduit, delivering batches of episodes to television stations around the country. After that ruling, the Paramount Global-owned network appealed. A three-judge appellate panel paused the order and asked both sides to submit their arguments. On Wednesday, the judges wrote that they had reviewed filings from both sides. In a one-page order, the panel granted CBS' request to keep the stay in place, allowing the network to continue its distribution duties during the appeal . CBS maintains Sony lacks the legal right to unilaterally severe ties. Read more: 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune' in the midst of a legal battle between Sony and CBS Sony terminated its distribution deal with CBS in August and later filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit that claimed CBS entered into unauthorized licensing deals for the shows and then paid itself a commission. Sony also maintained that rounds of budget cuts within CBS had hobbled the network's efforts to support the two shows. In February, Sony attempted to cut CBS out of the picture, escalating the dispute. CBS has said Sony's claims 'are rooted in the fact they simply don't like the deal the parties agreed to decades ago.' CBS takes in up to 40% of the fees that TV stations pay to carry the shows. The company took over the distribution of the program when it acquired syndication company King World Productions in 1999. King World struck deals with the original producer, Merv Griffin Enterprises, in the early 1980s to distribute 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel.' Sony later acquired Griffin's company, but those early agreements remain in effect.

No MBA, no problem: Scottish Leaders can build real credibility in just five hours
According to organisational communication expert Jenni Field, credibility, not authenticity, is the key to influence and success as a leader. And while not everyone is born with it, without it, teams become toxic, careers nosedive, and cultures unravel.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... To fix this, Jenni, the author of Nobody Believes You, which has sold over 4,000 copies, has launched Leading with Credibility: Master the 8 Proven Practices That Build Leadership Credibility. Forget MBAs, mountains of debt, and years of study. This course will take students from Scotland and beyond, through eight key practices which, in as little as five hours, will transform them into a leader people will truly want to follow, even if they don't right now. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Titles after your name don't make you a successful leader, but being credible does,' says Jenni. 'Leadership advice such as 'be more authentic' or 'show more vulnerability' is vague, and far from solving the fundamental problem, it could make things worse. This course offers practical behaviours leaders can start using immediately so they stop feeling like they aren't cut out for life at the top of a company. It bridges the disconnect between having authority on paper and creating the genuine trust that makes people willingly follow them.' Leading with Credibility Endorsed by the Credibility Institute and based on extensive research with leaders and their teams, the course includes 10 video modules, Jenni's proprietary Credibility Wheel, a comprehensive workbook, a credibility gap assessment, and lifetime access for continued development. Insights from the course are intended to replace uncertainty with the confidence that comes from knowing exactly how to lead effectively. By mastering the art of communication, participants will see that credibility can be built even in the most challenging situations. Jenni adds, 'Leaders will spend hours in the gym to work on physical fitness and regularly meet with executive coaches to sharpen their strategy. What is worrying, however, is when it comes to strengthening their credibility, the one trait that can transform their leadership, their team, and their culture, it's often left to chance or totally left out of the equation.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad She concludes, 'This isn't about changing who you are. It's about building on your strengths and giving you the direction to inspire action and deliver results. Whether you're a quiet leader, a visionary, or stepping into management for the first time, credibility is your most powerful tool. It's the key to leading a team that believes in you and consistently outperforms expectations because they believe in your vision, thus accelerating your career.' Jenni Field Leading with Credibility comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee for those who complete the first three modules, implement the practices, and do not see an improvement in how their leadership is received.
