Sony Pictures Television announced on February 3, 2025 that the week's episodes would be the last ones it would feed to CBS Media Ventures and that it would begin distributing episodes of those shows directly to affiliates beginning with the week of February 10.[21] CBS sought and received a restraining order blocking Sony from doing so on February 6.[22] However, on April 10, it was reported that the court had ruled in favor of Sony, thus resulting in CBS losing the distribution rights. CBS then confirmed they would submit an appeal immediately; on May 29, the California Courts of Appeal ruled that CBS would remain distributor of the two shows while the trial is in progress.[23][24] On November 7, 2025, Sony and CBS announced that they had reached a settlement; Sony will assume the international distribution rights to Wheel and Jeopardy! beginning January 1, 2026, marketing and affiliate relations duties beginning in the 2026–27 season, and fully assume the domestic distribution rights after the 2027–28 season. CBS Media Ventures will, in turn, become the exclusive seller of advertising during the programs through the 2029–30 season.[25][26] See more
