Crave is bringing two game show staples to subscribers next month.
Bell Media has signed a multi-year streaming deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment Canada (SPEC) for the exclusive next-day streaming rights to Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune.
Starting Sept. 9, new episodes will be released on Crave the day after broadcast. That same day, Crave will launch a 100-episode collection for each show, including episodes featuring original Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.
The agreement follows Sony’s agreements with Peacock, Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S. this summer to stream the game shows.
Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune air on Yes TV, CHEK and NTV in Canada. A spokesperson for SPEC told Playback that those broadcast agreements are still in effect.
Flory Bramnick, SPE’s EVP of distribution for North America, said in a statement that the deal will bring the shows to “a new, untapped audience across streaming platforms.”
