CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl explains Magnum P.I.'s cancelation and why there are only two comedies on Thursdays (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cbs-chief-magnum-p-i-cancellation-comedy-cutbacks-1235149223/)

CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl says the decision was “a tough one,” but made with the overall health of the schedule in mind.

“Every year there are tough calls,” Kahl tells The Hollywood Reporter while discussing CBS’ 2022-23 schedule. “It’s typically not one thing — there are several factors, including looking at the big picture of the schedule and getting some new [shows] on. We really respected the hell out of that cast, and the producers as well.”

Kahl acknowledges that the Hawaii-filmed Magnum P.I. was expensive, but “the economics on a lot of shows are challenging. It’s not the sole reason. There are usually multiple factors.”
