keep in mind Prodigy was produced by nickelodeon and only distributed on Paramount+ - for accounting purposes they are all separate entities - Paramount, CBS, Paramount+, Nickelodeon etc even if they are all owned by ViacomCBS
Paramount+ is still the entity that decided to cancel the series and remove it from their platform less than a year after advertising themselves as being the home to "Every Series. Every Episode."
they were also home of all the movies at one point and that changes every few months, and by region. Accountants going to Accountant
Okay, but Paramount+ doesn't directly produce any of the shows.
CBS Studios produces most of them and then Paramount+ holds the distribution rights in most cases
So what is it we need to "keep in mind," and why?
that Nickelodeon were the original commissioners of the production, made out of their budget and their terrestrial broadcast rights.
Relevance?
the meme blames paramount+ for cancelling a show they didn't commission and in a large portion of regions was never on streaming
They still cancelled it...
Paramount + did cancel a show they didn't commission.
Not just accounting purposes. The commissioning producers are totally separate, decision making is largely devolved down to the separate channels to encourage audience awareness.
