Sony Pictures Television, the producer of the long-running gameshows ‘Jeopardy!’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’, filed a lawsuit accusing its distributor CBS of undercutting their deal and failing to fork over millions of dollars in fees.
“Unfortunately, it is now clear that CBS has fallen woefully short of holding up its end of the bargain,” Sony alleged in a breach of contract suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court. “The reality is that CBS has been egregiously undercutting the value and profitability of these shows in favor of its own self-interest and in violation of its contractual obligations.”
