Ownership of Properties
The Barry family, along with former Wheel of Fortune letter-turner and Enright's companion Susan Stafford, sold Barry & Enright Productions and its library of game shows to Columbia TriStar Television sometime in 1994, before the launch of Game Show Network on December 1 of that year.
Today, the pre-scandal library is owned by NBCUniversal and the post-scandal library is owned by Sony Pictures Television. There are six exceptions: the 1950s version of Tic-Tac-Dough is owned by NBC Universal and the 1990 editions of Tic-Tac-Dough was held by Granada International through their acquisition of the ITC library, the 1950s version of Winky Dink and You is owned by its creators, Harry W. Pritchett and Edwin Brit Wyckoff, the 1958-1973 version of Concentration is co-owned by FremantleMedia and NBCUniversal, and the 1989 kids' version of Pictionary is also held by NBCUniversal through their ownership of the MCA library. The 1990 version of The Joker's Wild was held by Carolco (now Lions Gate) through Orbis Communications, is currently held by CBS Television Distribution in partnership with StudioCanal.

Famous quotes containing the words ownership of, ownership and/or properties:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
