& Cable they were less than happy to be learning about the dissension at the end of February 2013 when their options for replacing the show were limited. CBS Television Distribution announced on March 26, 2013 that they would be cancelling the show and cease distributing the series after its summer 2013 reruns. The final CBS-produced episodes were taped on March 14, 2013. Fox station owners (that had contracted to air the program) were reportedly not interested in a CBS-chosen replacement judge (which would have been Marion County, Indiana Judge Geoffrey Gaither). Brown later called out CBS for their treatment of him, claiming they had reneged on contract agreements, cheated him out of money, failed to give him sufficient advertising in favor of concentrating their advertisements in Judge Judy, and engaged in several other unjust, underhanded and unethical business practices. Worthy to note, Sheindlin of Judge Judy would also later walk out on CBS, citing her own resentment with management moves under the distributor related to salary cuts and the handling of a court series she produces Hot Bench. Sheindlin relocated to a different distributor, Amazon Studios, to do the same arbitration-based legal dispute handling on Judy Justice, which airs through streaming on Amazon Freevee.
