Yeah, Paramount would really want this to succeed & empty more theater seats to TV.
Like when General Motors started "magnanimously" buying Electric Trolley routes
and guess what happened next.

Not quite so . . . .
OK youngsters, lets review history a bit.
At the time the ABC Network was owned by Paramount Theaters and was in the process of switching to color and managed to get more shows on the air in Color than CBS did.
Officially Paramount Theaters and Paramount Pictures were separate, but unofficially both were intertwined.
Funding from Paramount brought ABC from a distant third place, to barking at CBS's heels in ratings, but not in number of stations.
