CBS Files Countersuit Against Sony Over Game Show Licenses

CBS has filed a countersuit against Sony Pictures Television, accusing Sony of attempting to terminate long-standing distribution deals for 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune' through legal means. This countersuit follows Sony's initial lawsuit, which claimed CBS was undermining the value of the shows and breaching distribution agreements. CBS argues it has met its contractual obligations and accuses Sony of trying to escape the deal to gain rights for free. CBS seeks to prevent Sony from terminating the agreements and is asking for monetary damages.
