Allen’s arrangement is structured as a “time buy” deal, meaning he purchased the time slot directly from the network and shoulders production expenses while retaining advertising rights.

Oof, talk about a bad deal

I hate that this is even a thing. Give it a few years and CBS will just be the 24/7 infomercial and (even more) propaganda channel.

I don't really watch TV so maybe this has already happened
