Reports from NY Post, Fox News, and WSJ indicate CBS was losing $40-50 million annually on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, amid declining ad revenue (from $439M in 2018 to $220M in 2024 for late-night shows) and high production costs exceeding $100M per season. CBS cites this as the reason for cancellation.
