Who owns the Twenty-One format?

Hi, guys. I've been thinking about the 1994 movie
Quiz Show
(which I haven't thought of in YEARS! It's a gripping movie, BTW), and the game show
Twenty-One
.
My next Q is: Who is the current rights-holder of the
Twenty-One
format?

The 2000 revival was produced under the NBC Studios banner, but being that it's a Barry-Enright show I would guess Sony are the ultimate rights-holders now?

Pretty sure it's NBC/Universal/Comcast/Whatever they are now.

Barry & Enright sold their shows to NBC at the time of the scandals. But...I assume
Tic Tac Dough
was one they sold. Did they simply buy it back? Is there a story to it?

I asked Randy West not too long ago this Q. Per him, NBCUniversal (and its predecessor organizations) still owns the format. They bought it from Barry-Enright upon the outbreak of the quiz show scandals.
