Last week, a judge ruled that Sony Pictures Television could take over distribution of the lucrative game shows.

CBS vowed to appeal and the case was then heard by a three-member panel of judges, who sided with CBS, meaning the distribution and select advertising sales for the syndicated versions of the game shows will go back to CBS Media Ventures, reversing the April 10 decision for now. It is not clear what Sony’s next steps may be.

A state appeals court has temporarily sided with CBS in its battle with Sony Pictures TV over control of 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy.'
