If I have my facts (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ScrewedByTheLawyers/LiveActionTV) right:
The format belongs to CBS.
Reruns (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/TheHollywoodSquares) belong to MGM (and presumably, Amazon by extension now).
Somehow, Fremantle must have spoken with the latter to be able to rerun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Game-Hollywood_Squares_Hour#Reruns) The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/TheMatchGameHollywoodSquaresHour). Yet, they have yet to obtain rights to any classic version.
Do the reruns of the Tom Bergeron version (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Squares#1998%E2%80%932004) belong to CBS or to Sony?
