Lol, owning that much real estate would have made huge gains over the time period. Not a loss at all. You're clutching at straws.
It's not conspicuous that the biggest show would fall. It's lies about the reasons for the axe. The show is critical of trump and they want a merger approved. It's fascism.
I have no doubt that the large late night show is destined to end and be in the annals of history. Same for cable tv. Same for news on tv. However, being terminal in viewership does not suffenly make it unprofitable before a merger, particyof it's the biggest show, worth the most viewers and minimal costs.
The new star trek, strange new worlds is also good. Modernised but keeps the flavour of older ones.
