Canada‘s Bell Media has struck a next-day streaming deal for Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune with Sony Pictures Television.
As of next month, the evergreen game shows will stream on Bell’s Crave the day after they air in syndication.
The agreement also includes 100 library episodes of each of the shows to the streaming service, beginning September 9. Sony Pictures Television Canada struck the deal with Bell.
“We are thrilled to bring Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, two of the most successful game shows in television history, to streaming audiences on Crave this fall,” said Flory Bramnick, EVP, Distribution, North America, Sony Pictures Entertainment. “These iconic properties have become pillars of broadcast syndication, and we look forward to seeing them delight a new, untapped audience across streaming platforms.”
Season 42 of Jeopardy! and Season 43 of Wheel of Fortune return in the U.S. on September 8.
Today’s agreement comes after Sony struck deals for the franchises with Peacock, Hulu, and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S. earlier this summer for in-season syndicated episodes.
