US EditionWriters Guild calls on NY attorney general to investigate Colbert cancellation, Trump ‘bribe’
NEW YORK, USA, JUL 18 – The Writers Guild asks the New York Attorney General to examine possible legal and ethical violations linked to Stephen Colbert's show cancellation and alleged Trump bribe.
- On Thursday, CBS revealed that ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ will end next May, removing Trump’s top TV critic and sparking political controversy.
- CBS said, citing financial reasons, the cancellation was driven by declining ad revenue, which was $439 million in 2018 and fell to $220 million last year.
- Streaming platforms now attract more viewers than broadcast networks over the past two months, reported by Nielsen Company, highlighting shifts in media consumption trends.
- On Friday, the Writers Guild of America called for an investigation, while President Donald Trump posted `I absolutely love that Colbert got fired` on Truth Social.
- The investigation request links Paramount’s pending merger with Skydance, with the Writers Guild of America saying the probe is tied to the $28 billion deal, and Letitia James has yet to comment.
