Spongey Stop Motion

This article was about a new stop motion animation TV special, It’s a SpongeBob Christmas!. From this article I learned that there is a new 30-minute special of the popular animated TV show, Spongebob Squarepants. Although this show is normally 2D drawn animation, the team at nickelodeon wanted to make the special animated with stop motion.
Another thing I learned from this article is that the team at Nickelodeon joined with the studio Screen Novelities, a studio that specializes in Stop Motion Animation, to make the special. I also learned that making 3d models of characters from a 2d show is difficult to get it exactly right. A thing I liked about this article is that it shows how at least some people want to change things up to attract viewers. Another thing I liked about the article was that it described how the whole thing was built, and some medias they used.(Like cereal and flour)
A question I have about the article is why did the special debute on CBS? so that people who dont have cable can still watch the show for free?
