2006, with the start of Season 23, Jeopardy! began broadcasting in high definition. King World and production company Sony Pictures Television indicated that as of August 10, 2006, some 49 of the 210 stations that carried the show at that time were prepared for the transition. Sony uses the 1080i HD format to record the show, but since Jeopardy! is syndicated, stations using the 720p format had to manually transcode the show from an HD satellite feed before broadcasting it. This issue was remedied with the introduction of the Pathfire satellite system for high-definition syndicated content distribution. On January 2, 2007, one third of the subscribing stations originally renewed Jeopardy! through Season 28 (2011–12), but by April 8, 2010, Jeopardy! was given an additional two-year renewal through Season 30 (2013–14). Then in 2012, Trebek and Wheel personalities Pat Sajak and Vanna White renewed their respective contracts when the shows' ABC-owned affiliates renewed both game shows through the 2015–16 season. In November 2018, the ABC-owned-and-operated stations renewed their agreement to carry Wheel and Jeopardy! through 2023, rebuffing a larger contract offer from Fox Corporation. CBS has long viewed stability as key to the shows' success, desiring to keep the shows on ABC stations to maintain continuity; it has declined to move the shows to its own owned-and-operated station group for the same reason it rejected Fox's bid. Syndication and reruns CBS Media Ventures currently offers stations up to two episodes of Jeopardy! to air each weekday: the first run (which airs new episodes from September to July), and a "classic Jeopardy!" package consisting of episodes from the previous year. Some local TV stations which carry Jeopardy! also hold in-market on-demand streaming rights to the five most recent episodes, subject to technical capability. For example, Sinclair Broadcast Group's Stirr service began to carry the program in the markets where Sinclair stations air the program, such as Washington, D.C. (WJLA) and Seattle (KOMO), in late 2020. Outside of the U.S., Jeopardy! airs on Canadian stations Yes TV and CHEK. Archival episode rights are held by Pluto TV, which like CBS Media Ventures is owned by Paramount. Pluto launched a continuous linear channel of episodes from the Trebek era in August 2022. The Pluto deal covers 250 episodes of the series spanning most of Trebek's hosting run, with an emphasis on major tournaments; an additional 250-episode batch will be added to the rotation in
