Judge Judy Lobbies CBS for Prime Time

摘要

Judge Judy's Judith Sheindlin makes a bundle already, and next year she's slated for a $5 million bump that will give her $30 million-$35 million a year. Nice reward for presiding over the longest-running, most profitable and top-rated court show in the lucrative daytime genre. But Sheindlin is looking for more. For the past few years, says the feisty syndicated TV jurist, she has been fighting a losing battle with Viacom for a slate of prime time Judge Judy specials on CBS, which oper- ates under the same corporate umbrella as the show's syndica- tor, Paramount Domestic Television.
