Last June, fans of Comedy Central – the long-running channel behind beloved programmes such as The Daily Show and South Park – received an unwelcome surprise. Paramount Global, Comedy Central’s parent company, unceremoniously purged the vast repository of video content on the channel’s website, which dated back to the late 1990s.
What does this have to do with write-offs? I don’t think they can write off episodes of South Park and the daily show that have already aired.
I think the suggestion is that if they leave the content available, they can still write it off.
