They have to announce the cancellation TEN months before it happens?
Most people that lose their jobs would be very lucky if they got 3 days notice.

* The powers that be ( CBS) are scared of our mentally challenged leader of the free world. Today your felon sued the WSJ & Murdoch for not pulling a letter that they posted of the rapist sending Epstein a sexually explicit drawing of the felon doing the dirty- Trump said he never sent anything, right.

* Yet years later the creep had no problem going on record of claiming that women loved being harassed & wanting their genitalia granted. He’s all for one, but he’s not the other. Our creep has morals.

* Your creep doesn’t have a problem firing people on the spot, maybe CBS is copying he’s style. We only have 3 & a half more years of this mess, then the clean up begins.

Ratings do have consequences. Everyone gets cancelled. First PBS & NPR from public finances now Colbert... Life is getting better every day.

Puck News' Matt Belloni reported the late-night show "has been losing more than $40 million a year" for CBS and that it had a budget of "more than $100 million per season,". Belloni said the sources he spoke with at CBS and Skydance Media, the company that is set to buy the network's parent company Paramount Global as part of an $8 billion merger, insist Colbert's cancellation was "based on economics, not politics," pointing to the decision to give his show a 10-month extension to May 2026 instead of pulling the plug immediately as evidence. Still, two other people with deep ties to CBS and Late Show suspect otherwise," Belloni said. "After all, when a network decides that a show is too expensive, executives typically go to the key talent and ask them to take pay cuts, fire people, or otherwise slash costs. That didn’t happen here—though with Colbert said to be making between $15 million and $20 million per year, a pay cut wouldn’t have solved the problem on its own."

That said, Belloni asked whether this was "the dam bursting" in late night on broadcast television, suggesting that Jimmy Kimmel at ABC as well as Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers at NBC could be next.
