Court, Conflict Find New Fortunes in Streaming Era

摘要

With CBS Media Ventures' Judge Judy going out of first-run production after this season and NBCUniversal Television Distribution's Maury ending production after next season, syndication's court and conflict genres are undergoing seismic shifts. But those vast libraries are finding new homes - and new revenue - on streaming platforms. Judy will remain on broadcast TV in repeats, and with thousands of episodes in its library, viewers, except possibly the most loyal, are unlikely to miss the lack of originals. Judge Judy will remain on stations for years to come. Meanwhile, Judge Judy Sheindlin is starring in and producing a new version of her show for Amazon's IMDb TV streaming service, and it remains to be seen how Her Honor will fare in that new venue.
