Sony Pictures Television has filed a lawsuit against CBS Studios, alleging that CBS has mishandled the distribution of its popular game shows, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, leading to significant lost revenue. According to Sony, CBS has earned over $1 billion from a 35-year distribution agreement but has not adequately pursued profit maximization through licensing and advertising. The lawsuit cites CBS’s stagnant growth projections and recent layoffs as contributing factors to its alleged “dismal performance.” Sony is seeking unspecified damages following unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue amicably with CBS.
