The “financial decision” is “We want money money money money, we’ll do anything! Look! Look! We’ll fuckin’ fire one of our highest rating earners. You like that, Papa T? We did that to make you love us ;)”
kinda wierd people are denying its not because of trump in this thread, multiple subs are already reporting including other talk show host indicated it was a threat-based cancellation. some of the users got mad because nutrek was axed by paramount, eventhough the franchise in its current form is terrible other someone like kurtzman.
Companies will do all sorts of crazy stuff for mergers to work out. History is riddled with epic failures like this as well. Microsoft buying Nokia comes to mind. Mergers have sunk costs and emotional, ego-driven people at their core.
So when something is sooooo close to happening and needs and just ONE more thing, approval from the FCC. In an environment where what truly does amount to a $16 million bribe isn’t enough to get the last last last paper signed, Paramount will act irrational in the short term to get long term financial gains.
Personally, I think it’s a bluff. They’ll cancel a decently rated show in its 11th season, with nothing to replace it at all…next year? Well the merger should be fine sooner than that, allowing time for Paramount to undo the cancelation.
happened right after 16million lawsuit paid to trump by cbs, and after he criticized him.
It’s because they want to do the Skydance merger.

Yeah, but it is and it isn’t, right?
