Belly up, fired, and retired

Not everything has to make money. They should have not canceled it if they gave a shit about their image and the message it sends to a lot of people…not now. You know, there are loss leaders and things you invest in and things you don’t do.

Personally I think they canceled it as a good faith gesture towards Trump. Surely Paramount could have absorbed some losses and not done it now right after they paid Trump a bribe.

You all pretty naive and simple seeing it as simply dollars and cents. When you all going to wake up??

Whatever happened to a broadcast corporation giving a shit about the country they operate in?

Oh yeah that’s right FASCISM: govt and business hand in glove with the sheeple going “oh yeah nothing to see here just regular market based decisions”

Late night is not what it used to be, most only watch clips on youtube/insta and don't really watch the actual show
So why would advertisers pay to be a part of that

there is a direct parallel between that, and what happened to music: far fewer albums are sold = no one watching full show on tv/cable; music fans getting their tunes on spotify/youtube/etc = watching clips of tv show on yt/insta

musicians can fall back on concerts - which actually creates jobs for a lot more people (roadies, drivers, security, management, etc.)

i guess (some) late-night hosts could hit the stage, do comedy gigs, etc... that could work for colbert and maybe a few of his writers, but most of those 200 other staff will need to start shipping out their resumes

Not everything has to make money. They should have not canceled it if they gave a shit about their image and the message it sends to a lot of people…not now. You know, there are loss leaders and things you invest in and things you don’t do.

i applaud your idealism, but zero chance a network will eat $40-50M per year to make a political point... especially one that could result in even more financial pain.

Yeah, I can't see a major corp like CBS being like 'yeah this 50m is no big deal', what I read is they waited too long
Now had they planned to do it this week, well that I don't know and is the suspect part of all this.

Also this is CBS entertainment, not their news, which is the part that is to be a loss leader

Now that $16mill payment, that is a whole other talk show.  I do think that mgmt was like 'fuck that dick, we pay him more than that a year and he's going to tell us our shit stinks, well he can pound sand' more than DJT calling them up and saying fire him

Ridiculous. They just found out it’s losing money the day after Colbert roasted them on a spit? It was profitable before?
