No, I read the OP and responded to it. Did you read the OP?
It's a nature/science documentary on the effects of gravity and the wonders of modern fashionwear.
From a financial point? Possibly.
I don't doubt your financial assessment, but I'm not so quick to dismiss this as non-political. CBS has revealed itself as not only political, but for sale. And they'll even pay $10m for this privilege.
How do you “do better” than being the top rated show?
We don’t actually know what is driving this decision.
Yeah, you didn't know Next time you want to pose as a wise guy, get your facts straight
I suspect by making a profit
As soon as you read the OP, then you'll see my facts are straight. This is just trolling.
Maybe CBS has learned their lesson.
CBS canned ‘The Late Show’ over tens of millions in financial losses annually — not Stephen Colbert’s politics: sources
CBS brass say they pulled the plug on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” because of its punishing losses and claim politics had nothing to do with it, The Post has learned.nypost.com
Those are huge losses and of course they've been happening for a while. The left just needs their singing and dancing monkey's to generate the ridicule necessary for their supporters to feel good about being so loathsome in life.
Those are some ugly numbers.
The plan is to try to make some money by telling the truth and reporting new? You don't say? What an interesting strategy going forward. It might even make them some money.
That’s what I mean.

And right wing media has stayed from conservative editorial to propaganda.
Not really, when you consider this is the "I am your retribution" flex on all the people who make fun of Donnie Boy. So there's that and whether or not the cancellation has anything at all to do with Trump, which is still suspect considering Paramount's kowtowing to the administration already. Honestly, this might be a better opportunity for Colbert since he has the name recognition and audience to branch out into streaming and podcasting which is where the audiences really are.
Conservatives too, since Fox News does much of the same. They've actually replicated much of what other cable news networks have done in terms of endless punditry and even have their own political humor show.
Linear television (cable and broadcast) as a whole has been in a steady state of decline in terms of overall viewership. It just this May that streaming surpassed linear television in total usage, plus audiences are accessing content on a variety of devices with the younger generations viewing content largely on mobile devices. What keeps linear television still going are the older demographics who aren't as tech savvy and just use televisions and sports/live events fans. Streaming has made quite the mess of sports, though it's starting to consolidate a bit more now.

It matters to you, or else you wouldn't be posting your opinion.
You conflated this time slot with news. That's what needs explanation.
Cool. What does news have to do with your joy?
CBS has made some very poor decisions in the past, so nothing it does surprises me. The only reason "Gunsmoke" wasn't cancelled in its 12th season is because Babe Paley, wife of CBS founder Bill Paley, fought for it. Other poor decisions? Never giving "American Gothic" a chance. Killing "Person of Interest," a hugely successful show, because the writers were making more money than the network. More recently, cancelling "Blue Bloods," a show that ruled Friday nights and was enormously popular, despite Tom Selleck himself begging that the network not do this.
