Sony Group Corp.’s Sony Pictures Television unit notified Paramount Global’s CBS division that it’s taking over worldwide distribution of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!, two of TV’s most popular game shows, amid an escalating fight between the companies.
In a letter to CBS Monday, Sony said it has assumed those duties for shows scheduled to start airing the week of Feb. 10. It has already given CBS the shows that will run until that date.
