    We don’t know that their claim they were losing money with Colbert is actually true.

    The fact that CBS is getting paid for running an infomercial DOES NOT in ANY way mean that CBS is getting more money from this infomercial than they wrre getting from The Late Show.

    It’s likely to lose a lot of viewership and ad revenue for the lead-ins and for the nightly news as well.
