12. I wonder if ABC is looking to snag Colbert.

Not to long ago Kimmel announced his contract was being renewed for one more year as his current one was about to expire. Plus he's expressed interest in finally hanging it up. That extension could be a favor for ABC to negotiate and work out details with Colbert to take over Kimmel's spot. They both even have the same agent.

Not to mention, also see if CBS gives up in this game of chicken they created. Now it looks like they are not. Personally, I think CBS buying Time Warner is really going to hurt along with the programing changes on CBS. I wouldn't be surprised in a few years to shore up CBS, they sell Time Warner in pieces for an injection of funds.

Yup, I refuse to give Ellison's CBS a minute or dime of my time and money. Initech Monday #4

I think Ellison knew he would lose money on CBS, and bought it anyway to get in good with Trump. Intractable Monday #6

Yup, because the only domestic issue Trump cares about is what's on TV tonight. Initech Monday #7
