That is stupid, since 2018 viewership is down 50%, ad revenue is also down 50% and production costs and ROI has been bad and getting worse. The network, cable and streaming have changed how people watch TV. Production costs are up playing a big role. NBC, ABC, CNN, ESPN, MSNBC and many other networks are in trouble and have been cutting and removing high paid talent. NBC is rumored to be retooling late-night under budget pressure. James Corden’s show ended in 2023 despite strong performance. TBS and Comedy Central exited late-night entirely.
If Trump has anything to do with this, I would be against it completely, just like I was against Biden pressuring social media to remove content he did not agree with. However at this time there is no evidence and seems like more left wing BS.
