If Paramount is combining CBS American Viewership Numbers with International Viewership Numbers, Paramount may be committing Viewership Numbers Fraud.

How many total U.S. Subscribers does Paramount have? When I search for total American Paramount Subscribers, I keep being diverted to world wide subscribers! It sure looks like Paramount's pablum spewing psychostatbabble about consolidating CBS linear Broadcast Television Viewership numbers with Paramount Streaming is a smokescreen to include Paramount Foreign Subscribers into the Viewership totals of CBS Linear Broadcasts!

Paramount's total U.S. subscriber base is proving impossible to research on Google, which sure looks like a smokescreen so Worldwide MP (multi platform) viewership numbers can be used to obfuscate a drop in CBS linear viewers after Paramount cancelled 5 Popular CBS television Series. 

Are we, real live American Viewers, being diluted and replaced when Paramount combines total world wide viewership audience numbers into their CBS MP viewership calculations?

This looks like mega, massive viewership fraud that is being used to claim CBS is thriving after Paramount cannibalized the CBS schedule by cancelling So Help Me Todd, NCIS Hawaii, Blue Bloods, Bob Hearts Abishola, and CSI Vegas.

 

I just now, at this very moment as I write this, did a focused google search based on my hypothesis and discovered that indeed, 

Paramount and TV Guide Magazine ARE in conflict as TV Guide Magazine protects its interests from Paramount's attempt to dilute the importance of Americans who actually watch live, linear Broadcast Television!

 

 

Meanwhile, ethical media giants like Warner / Discovery ARE keeping broadcast and streaming networks separate.

 

And let us not forget the golden parachute exit package that Paramount Executives were recently granted in the event they are dismissed. 

 

What is problematical about golden parachutes? Golden Parachutes basically give an executive or executives free reign to engage in "adventurous" strategies knowing if they are fired or demoted, they still get a guaranteed bonus, and if the Executives are not fired or demoted, they would most likely get a raise for accomplishing their task successfully. In essence, a golden parachute assures an Executive is blessed if they succeed, and also blessed if they don't succeed.
Paramount Plus most likely targeted 5 popular CBS series, So Help Me Todd, Blue Bloods, NCIS Hawaii, Bob Hearts Abishola, with cancellation, and the "why" this happened may prove an ugly discovery.
