So, here's the tea: CBS and Sony are fighting over who gets to show Wheel of Fortune (and Jeopardy!), and it's turned into a super messy lawsuit. Sony owns the shows, but CBS has been the one airing them for decades, ever since they bought King World Productions. Recently, Sony tried to cancel their deal with CBS and even sued them, saying CBS made shady licensing deals and paid itself extra money it shouldn't have. CBS basically said, “No way, you can't just break off our agreement that easily.”
What makes it all wild is that even though fewer people watch TV the old-school way, Wheel of Fortune is still a huge deal. The court just decided that, for now, CBS can keep airing the show while this whole legal fight plays out. Honestly, I never thought a game show about spinning a wheel could get so dramatic, but it turns out there’s a lot of money and history at stake. So, when people talk about "good fortune" with CBS, it’s kind of ironic—because they’re literally fighting over who gets the "fortune!" I think that’s what’s pulling everyone’s attention in entertainment news.
