    it’s not nitpicking. it directly relates to this point in the top comment:

    If Colbert loses CBS $40M per year, it must have lost CBS $40M last year too. Yet CBS didn’t fire him last year.

    they made the same decision this year as they did last year, not to renew his contract. also as mentioned maybe the cost of breaking the contract was more than they were expecting to lose.
