Stephen Colbert has locked in a new three-year deal for 'The Late Show' on CBS.
has said the broadcaster is maintaining a “fluid and active” approach as it curates its fall programming schedule amid month two of the writers strike.
“The DGA deal tentative agreement was helpful; let’s see what happens with SAG,” said Cheeks on Tuesday. “I would just say that, as opposed to broadcast where that series model is tight and works very well for our creative partners, I do think the way that the streaming series model is evolved poses serious challenges for creative partners that we have to figure out.”
“The one positive there is that I actually think that will help us with our creative partners because one of the big issues they complain about is streaming residuals,” said Cheeks. “But I think the more that we’re not locking the shows on one platform, [the more we] actually license out more revenue to the studios and get more residuals for our partners.”
