CBS Countersues Sony in ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Jeopardy!’ Fight
CBS alleges that Sony manufactured a disagreement over "Wheel" and "Jeopardy!" in order to reclaim distribution rights for free.
CBS filed a countersuit on Tuesday against Sony, accusing the company of concocting a false pretext in order to back out of its decades-old distribution deal for “ Wheel of Fortune ” and “ Jeopardy!” Sony argued in its lawsuit that CBS has suppressed the value of the popular game shows by favoring its wholly-owned programming in distribution deals with TV stations. CBS offered a far different version of events, arguing in its countersuit that Sony has been manufacturing controversies in a “Sisyphean journey of reclaiming — for free — all the rights to the Series.”
