Production isn’t the same cost per hour that a film is, between differences in production techniques and efficiencies (they can batch shots, aren’t moving equipment as much, more cohesive crew/better routine, reuse of sets/wardrobe/props, etc.). And ads get sold against each hour of programming when airing, there are syndication (rerun) rights, streaming, etc. for additional revenue streams.
