It would begin with you demonstrating that CBS was losing 40 million per year.

Everyone knows that CBS has asserted it...

But no one has seen the evidence. 
 
 

 

If he was making money he would still be there.
And it would begin with you making your case.

You have posted anything to counter it so I'm good.  Apparently you ain't the finance guy you make yourself out to be.

I saw a question and an assertion of dubious currency..

You've given me nothing to work with...

Not my job, Askholio.  You disagree CBS was losing money on Colbert yet you have no argument.

Broadcast TV’s highest-rated late-night talk show, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," is being cancelled. Paramount called it a financial decision, but the timing is raising questions. Stephanie Sy discussed the cancellation of the show with NPR television critic Eric Deggans.

Stephen Colbert announces he’s bouncing and the numbers go UP. Imagine being so chronically unfunny that your absence is the first joke that lands in years. CBS didn’t lose a host... they lost a ratings anchor. Viewers didn’t tune in to say goodbye. The audience returned...like...the hostage situation is over. CBS execs pretending to be sad is the funniest thing he’s ever inspired. They’re already measuring the studio for someone who can tell a joke. The article calls it a “ratings plot twist.” The only twist is that it took this long for people to realize they didn’t actually like the show. Colbert leaves...ratings rise...CBS smiles politely...internet laughs...Colbert fans insist it’s a coincidence...math disagrees. And that’s the whole story. The man walked out… and the audience walked back in

The audience for the current offering - comics unleashed with byron allen - is actually much smaller than colbert's audience. But the show is also much cheaper to produce. CBS went from losing 40 mil in the slot to making 15.

Clobert was funny before he sold his soul - so was jon stewart. It was a painful and cringy thing to watch two fine talents become sold out hacks.

And the comedy gods do not forgive. Neither man can get his mojo back EVER without a character-driven mea culpa. And the character required for either to deliver that is almost certainly unavailable to a sold-out hack.

I mean, never say never. It would be grand to watch either of those **** redeem themselves through public admission of their many lies. But I don't think it's ever going to happen - which means neither boy will ever be funny again.

Your argument and your evidence have serious problems. 

The problem with your evidence is that the document's provenance is utterly mysterious. It's GOSSIP.

The problem with your argument is that we would have to believe CBS **** canned the highest rated cable show that was making them tons of money, rather than the more easily understood reason that virtually everyone in the industry offers: The show was losing money.

Allen is leasing the time slot and selling his own advertising.

Thanks for that info - that makes sense.

That's how they know what they're making - 15 mil a year.

The number you cited is of questionable origin.


It is backed by nothing.

It lies by omission..

It actually lists a number of sources for its figures.

It was broadcast...and CBS was preparing to buy skydance, for billions - requiring regulatory approval.
