[[http://www.sonypicturesstudios.com/ Sony Pictures Studios]] is essentially [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOnTheTin what it is]], a studio that serves as the filming location for two of Creator/MervGriffin's game shows - ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' and ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' (both since 1995). They also contain an audio post-production facility, which has been used on many occasions (many of Sony's A/V receivers contain sound field settings intended to mimic those of the studio stages and sound recording facilities). It originally started out as Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer's studio lot back in the 30s, though the complex itself dates back to 1915; many of Hollywood's classic films were made here. But after UsefulNotes/TedTurner's failed purchase of MGM in 1986, he sold it to Creator/{{Lorimar}}-Telepictures, as part of their effort to expand beyond television and into movies. This didn't work very well, and L-T was acquired by Creator/WarnerBros in 1989. Once that happened, they sold the lot to Creator/ColumbiaPictures, which had been renting half of Warner's lot since the early 70s. Hence, it was quickly rebranded ''Columbia Studios'', until 1992, when it received its present-day name (Creator/SonyPictures itself having been formed the previous year). For more on the lot's history, [[http://www.sonypicturesmuseum.com/ see here]].
