Prime Video’s Tribunal Justice is on track for a September 8 launch in U.S. broadcast syndication. The court show’s distributor, Scott Koondel‘s Sox Entertainment, has closed multi-year deals in TV markets covering nearly 95% of the country. That includes pacts with major broadcast groups including Nexstar, Gray, Sinclair, Tegna, Hearst, Sunbeam, Cox Media, Scripps, Weigel, Mission, News Press and Marquee.
On many of the stations, Tribunal Justice could potentially be paired up in a block with fellow Prime Video court show Judy Justice, which Sox launched in broadcast syndication this past fall. Both programs have been sold in similar straight-barter deals.
“Tribunal Justice’s successful syndication launch was further validation that the streaming to broadcast syndication model is vibrant,” Koondel said. “With eight series being cancelled this year. Judy Justice has been the only successful syndication launch for many years and has paved the a path of success for Tribunal Justice.”
