This doesn't happen on Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune. From 1996-2000, the logo fades out at the last note.

Like the CPT logo, from 1994, the logo theme was re-orchestrated.Music/Sounds: A re-arranged version of the 1993 Columbia Pictures Television theme done by Steven Kaplan. Variant: On GSN and Project G.e.e.K.e.R., the names and the byline stay on-screen for a split second longer before fading out. Above the logo, ' COLUMBIA TRISTAR' is seen, with the words positioned over their respective logos, and on the bottom is the word ' TELEVISION' and a Sony Pictures Entertainment byline. The left one contains the Columbia Torch Lady, and the right one contains the TriStar Pegasus (over Columbia's cloud background). Logo: On a solid blue background, we see two boxes. On September 16, 2002, CTDT was reincorporated into what is known today as Sony Pictures Television. CTDT also replaced Columbia TriStar Network Television. Ultimately, on October 25, 2001, CTT and CTTD were merged into Columbia TriStar Domestic Television with CTIT remaining. Another reason why CTNT's formation failed was due to its Japanese ownership (Sony). However, the formation of CTNT was blocked due to FCC-related television and syndication laws (also known as the 'Fin-Syn' laws) prohibiting network participation in the financial interest of the television programs they aired beyond first-run exhibition and the creation of in-house syndication arms, especially in the domestic market. On New Year's Day 2001, CTT folded CPT in a failed attempt to become a network television syndication division called Columbia TriStar Network Television. Columbia TriStar Television was officially incorporated on July 12, 1996. However, CPT and TriStar continued producing their own series until TriStar Television became in-name-only in 1999 and CPT folded in 2001. On June 4, 1994, CTT folded Merv Griffin Enterprises and took over the rights to Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, as part of an overall deal with Merv Griffin himself. With Columbia TriStar International Television (formerly 'Columbia Pictures International Television', now Sony Pictures Television International) already in operation since the early 1990s, all three became part of Sony Television Entertainment umbrella (which was later renamed to the Columbia TriStar Television Group in July 1995). It was founded on Februand the same day, SPE renamed Columbia Pictures Television Distribution to Columbia TriStar Television Distribution.

Columbia TriStar Television was a merger of Columbia Pictures Television and TriStar Television (after the re-branding of Columbia TriStar Home Video).
