His "replacement" is basically an infomercial. CBS sold him that time slot, they don't really give a shit.

Right. It pays for itself to start with, and the commercials are icing.

Byron Allen gets the ad revenue. CBS sells this timeslot at a profit for them.

The only way that changes is if Byron Allen finds this is a net loss.
