Comment on those ratings graphs above boss 

TV viewership as a whole has dropped over that same time period.  The graphs show that the overall late night viewership has fallen.  The two shows that have recently have been recently cancelled are the highest rated in the graphic.  Isn't it odd that the one with the lowest viewership remains?

Whatever replaces Kimmel and Colbert will likely be cheaper to produce and thus more profitable/less unprofitable, but I doubt it reverses the ratings trend.  There are just fewer TV viewers at that time of day in 2025.  Fallon could get all of them and not reach his 2014 high.

An overly liberal company.  Disney.   Is firing a liberal comedian who is racist and a misogynist.  And that’s cancel culture.  Sure.  
 

Another  one here  that cares far more for a racist comedian who is a zillionaire than a you who was murdered  for debating.

So the graphic sucks.  Losing money doesn’t cut it.

It will easily be more profitable.  An INFOMERCIAL would be.

Not necessarily.  There is a certain amount of sunk cost with the current show.  This was an issue with the Tonight Show back when NBC wanted to axe Conan and bring back Leno.  Conan had a contract and NBC had to buy him out.  It made sense to do it because contractually they would have to pay both Leno and Conan either way.  The size of the buyout was smaller for Conan and Leno had better ratings.

With the Late Show cancellation that coincides with the end of Colbert's contract.  CBS would likely have to pay him for that time regardless of whether or not they air the show and he has the highest rated show in the timeslot.  It makes sense to keep him on the air until the end of his contract.  The cost to produce the show is sunk and since he has the highest ratings it will result in more advertising $$ than replacing him with an infomercial.

I believe Kimmel's contract also runs through 2026.  There is a good chance that his show will generate more revenue for ABC than an infomercial, so he might not be done for good just yet.  The cost is sunk and if Nexstar's merger goes through there might not be a financial incentive to keep him off the air.

Kimmel also hosts a show in Prime Time on ABC, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"  There has been no announcement cancelling that or suspending Kimmel as host.

I thought your position was that the FCC didn't axe Jimmy Kimmel Live!  Didn't you say the affiliates and not the FCC was to blame?
