DROPPED CBS SERIES

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The Equalizer with Queen Latifah was among CBS's top-rated series.
  • - It was dropped; fans want it back.
  • - A watch party of 25–30 watches it nightly.

My name is {{Redacted}} from Marty and I have a watch party of 25 to 30 people every night that the equalizer was on starring Queen Latifah. It was one of CBS's highest rating series and you guys just dropped the series for what it seems that every time there's a black star in a Series is prominent you get the ratings and then you just drop the damn series every time.

Can you do me one favor and bring equalizer back I can guarantee you that ratings will be better than they were before you dropped the series. CBS please do better, your audience is predominantly black AKA African- Americans. You make money off of us watching your damn shows through Hulu through Paramount through CBS and another thing why in the world would you want to take Stephen Colbert off? Do you really care about your damn audience or not?

By the way tracker is a great series but it was not as good as The Equalizer. If you don't believe this viewer do a a survey: Equalizer versus listen to your viewersVoice and see who wins I can promise you tracker will not be number one.

User's recommendation: Voice your opinion and don't hold back

I don’t understand why you can’t televise Tampa bay Bucs in the Oklahoma area. There is a very big market for it here as we are baker mayfield fans.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - There is a big market for the Tampa Bay Bucs locally.
  • - Oklahoma has Baker Mayfield fans.
  • - People prefer watching Tampa Bay Bucs over bull riding.

There is a big market for the Tampa Bay Bucs in my area as this state is a big baker mayfield fan. Oklahoma. We would much rather watch Tampa bay over bull riding etc you are overlooking a huge audience that would definitely tune in

There is nowhere near a big enough market to absorb the costs your local CBS affiliate would have to pay to broadcast TB games. Oklahoma only has 1.5 million households. There’s added costs for the local CBS affiliate that would get passed on to consumers in the state and no way would Dallas give up it’s local exclusivity in OKC.

  • - Frustration over CBS broadcasting a football game in Spanish.
  • - They are not Spanish speakers and question why this is being done.

I was calling to register my anger and dismay at the football game on CBS being broadcast in Spanish. I am not Spanish speaking.

Do I have to learn Spanish in order to watch a football game?

This is uncalled for. Why are you doing this?

Complaint of switching football coverage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I was switched from the Bills vs Jets game and found it unacceptable.
  • - I expected to watch the Bills vs Jets game in full.

The switching away from a scheduled football game to go to a more competitive game was completely unacceptable. I expected to watch the entire Buffalo Bills versus New York Jets football game, not to be switched over to another team that I have no interest in. Completely unacceptable: broadcast what you say you're going to.

Pros:
  • Available off of broadcast tv
Cons:
  • Change game coverage however they feel in the middle of a game

Preferred solution: Apology

Very disappointed that your have dropped the John Dickerson program.

AI Highlights
  • - Dickerson is leaving CBS News.
  • - He helped me understand events.
  • - I will stop watching CBS News to see if he joins another station.

Tonight I was sorry to hear Mr. Dickerson saying that he is no longer going to be on your channel.

I feel he was very helpful in understanding current events. I will stop watching CBS news and see if he will be picked up by another major TV station, because I really like his approach to daily events.

Cancelling subscription over Colbert and 60 Minutes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I subscribed for four shows: 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Morning, Colbert, CBS Evening News.
  • - 60 Minutes gutted; Nora O'Donnell out; Colbert canceled.

The only reason I subscribed to Paramount+ is for four shows. 60 minutes, CBS Sunday morning, the late night show with Stephen Colbert, and the CBS evening news.

You have gutted 60 minutes ability to report cutting edge news, you have taken Nora ODonnell out of the evening news, and now the cancellation of Stephen Colbert was paying a bribe to Trump is inexcusable.

You have now reached Fox News level of incompetency. I will be canceling my subscription and urging my friends, colleagues and family to be doing the same.

The United States is now moving into a dictatorship.

Regretfully,

CBS is bowing to an autocrat

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The Colbert Show cancellation is described as a $16 million capitulation.
  • - It undermines democracy by bowing to an autocrat and prioritizes money.

Can you sink any lower?! First the $16 million capitulation and now cancelling Colbert.

You are a disgrace! Your actions undermine our democracy by bowing to an autocrat. I have lost all respect for your organization.

The Colbert Show has quality and character and should remain on the air. Its a shame money is more important to you than maintaining our democracy.

User's recommendation: Don’t reward this network for their lack of patriotism.

Why does he criticize Andrew Jackson ? That's a subject for the historical channels.

BTW, he's getting tossed from the $20 bill according to the Treasury Dept. to be replaced by Harriet Tubman.

It was scheduled for 2026 but may have been extended. I've been boycotting CBS for years ; since the departure of Walter Cronkite in 1981.

  • - Very disturbed by the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
  • - Says free speech is impinged and the company is spineless and unpatriotic.

No option for expressing an opinion. I am very disturbed about the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

So clearly free speech has been impinged upon and your company is spineless and unpatriotic. First you cave and hand over 16 million and then you dont stand up for anything or anyone but a bully. Those in charge of these decisions need to look in the mirror.

Hope you dont have children to face! Shameful
