No duh, Paramount is going to keep shoving Yellowstone on to CBS
At least 10 million new viewers have checked the cable hit out since it started being used to shore up the network's schedule
It’s always been a little weird that one of the biggest TV dramas on the planet has its home on a channel as little-known as the Paramount Network. Sure, Yellowstone was a gamble when it was first launched on the cable network—untested showrunner, expensive cast, the Western of it all—but it’s since become a massive hit, with its various spin-off projects mostly migrating to places where Paramount, the company, would actually like viewers to be tuning in. (Mostly, Paramount+.) But Taylor Sheridan’s mothership series remains the primary responsibility of the channel that was known, for many years, as Spike—at least, until a few weeks ago, when Paramount began funneling the show on to CBS proper, thanks in part to being content-starved for its fall schedule by the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
