CBS Sets ‘Late Show’ Replacement: Byron Allen’s ‘Comics Unleashed’

Oh interesting. That’s unusual isn’t it?

regardless of ratings, but they won't keep paying if the ads don't produce. Low rating ads usually don't produce.

Annual budget was 100 million. Annual ad revenue was 60 million. So they were in the hole 40 million a year. That's not including merchandising revenue. Or syndication revenue. Or revenue from YouTube /social media. They made 60 million on ads alone, and I dare you to find a show that can sell more Ads on TV today. Ad revenue had simply fallen year over year the same as literally EVERY other broadcast station that has been dealing with the death of televison. Fox, NBC, ABC, etc, etc. Every single one has declining ad revenue for the last 5 years, and not a single one of them chose to torpedoe a show bringing in 60million from ads alone. There's about 18 ways a competent show runner or studio exec could KEEP the show making them 60 million in ad revenue, while minimizing cost. Literally they could just cut the amount of episodes they make a year in half. And immediately, the show would be profitable at 10 million ad revenue a year. That sound like an impossible choice to make or an incredibly easy and f****** obvious one to generate 10 mil a year guaranteed on established talent? The fact that everyone here is accepting the decision to remove this show as "cost savings" shows how inclelredible poor people's business acumen has become. It makes zero sense to terminate a show bringing in 60 million of ads, more than nearly any other show, just because current production costs are high. That's easily fixable through a single producer that actually skilled and knows what they're doing. The thought of this show becoming "too costly" to anyone in the industry is just propaganda bullshit. If f****** Airwolf stayed alive for a 3rd season by creating episodes almost entirely from stock footage, there's certainly room for cost cutting here too. Signed, someone that works in this industry, has developed more than a single show, and knows what they're talking about. This article is designed to make you come to the wrong conclusion about basic f****** business decisions so you keep being complacent as Trump removes anything remotely resembling resistance to his billionaire backed tyranny.

Primetime is from 8pm to 11pm. Colbert airs at 11:30. The literal opposite would be 8am to 11am. But yeah, it is 30 minutes later. That's nearly the smallest amount of time difference you could exagerate into being "tHe LiTeRaL OpPoSiTe" of primetime. If you're gonna troll, be better at at.
