Part 4/6:
Rumors suggest that Colbear's ongoing behavior on-air—characterized by public disputes with his network and evident frustration—may be hastening his exit. Despite being contractually bound until 2026, his apparent tantrums and critical remarks about CBS could lead to an early dismissal. The network faces a substantial expense: paying Colbear's hefty salary alongside costs for his sizeable staff—approximately 200 employees—costs estimated to be around $40 to $50 million annually. These figures put mounting financial pressure on CBS, further compounding the possibility of an expedited departure.
