Judge Judy Weighs Her Lucrative Options: Sheindlin offers library of back episodes to the marketplace

摘要

AFTER 21 YEARS IN SYNDICATION, Judge Judy Sheindlin, 74, is arguably at the top of her game. But her empire-building is just getting into full swing. The show in which she stars, CBS Television Distribution's Judge Judy, continues to lead the charts, competing with Debmar-Mercury's Family Feud for household honors. In the week ended Feb. 26, Judge Judy averaged a 7.2 live-plus-same-day household rating, according to Nielsen, and a 2.9 among women 25-54, ranking the show second in daytime's key demographic among all first-run shows. And Judge Judy remains that strong after being on the air since 1996.
