What if Republic Pictures remain open after 1967 and bought by CBS in 1967?

Note: This theory was originally written on the New Idea Central Wiki.
At the 1958 annual meeting, Yates announced the end of motion picture production. On July 1, 1958, Victor M. Carter, a Los Angeles businessman and turnaround specialist, acquired controlling interest in the company for nearly $6 million, becoming its president. He turned Republic into a diversified business that included plastics and appliances in addition to its film and studio rentals and Consolidated Film Industries, renaming the company Republic Corporations.Having used the studio for series production for years, Republic began leasing its backlot to other firms, including CBS, in 1963. In 1967, Republic's studio was purchased outright by CBS. But what if Republic Pictures remained open after 1967 and was bought by CBS in 1967?
Here's what might have happened.
This theory is interconnected to What if Paramount kept the rights to Buzzy the Crow, Herman and Katnip, Little Audrey, Modern Madcaps, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare?
