Bumping because CBS is now hitting back:

This can apparently be traced back to an attempt by Sony to buy back the distribution rights to WOF and Jeopardy for over a billion dollars earlier this year:

Capitalism, I guess. I hope the shows survive.

Why would they not survive. Surely they make enough money that the right people would line up in order to produce and distribute the show.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.
