Sheindlin gained control over her archive at some point during her numerous contract negotiations. The company and Sheindlin had a kerfuffle over the Judge Judy library, consisting of over 5,000 episodes.

Sheindlin, a former judge in Manhattan family court, is also creator and executive producer of syndicated court show Hot Bench, also from CBS TV Distribution. Koondel, who departed as CBS chief corporate licensing officer in 2018, has a long history with Sheindlin, going back to orchestrating Paramount Television’s acquisition of Spelling Entertainment, which owned Judge Judy producer Big Ticket Television. “I’m thrilled to help with the transition of this entertainment phenom from over-the-air to over-the-top television.” Now America’s Judge will continue to reach her millions of fans through IMDb TV, Amazon’s free streaming service,” said Koondel, CEO of Sox Entertainment, Inc. “For over two decades our honor, Judge Judy, has dominated broadcast television. She quickly teamed with former CBS executive Koondel to handle the sale of the new series, which opted to bypass broadcast syndication and focus on streaming. Sheindlin made the announcement after she reportedly could not make a deal with CBS TV Distribution for more seasons of the daytime juggernaut, which paid her $47 million a year.

Who would have thought that the Sheindlin’s and Amazon would be mishpachah?” After I signed this deal, I apologized to Jerry. The dogs don’t even bark at the delivery people anymore. I have enough mouthwash in the cabinets to keep the entire planet’s breath fresh until the next millennium. “I used to yell at my husband, Jerry, for all the packages he had ordered from Amazon every day. “I’m over the moon to be in business with Amazon Studios and continuing this incredible journey with them on a new platform is so exciting,” said Sheindlin. It is unclear yet how the episodes will be released - daily, weekly or in batches - as there is no precedent to draw from.

It also is the first court program on a streaming platform as the genre has been a daytime syndication staple for decades. I hear the show has been picked for more than 100 episodes, believed to be the largest initial order for a streamer.
