Take Nickelodeon and Spongebob for example. The late Stephen Hillenburg created the show and even had a set number of seasons he wanted before ending the show but ultimately Nick/Viacom had complete control and milked it for all it’s worth. I admit, I am ignorant to the business but if I’m the one creating the content why does the network/company get more of a say over what is done with my creation than I do?

Basically, because they are the ones paying for it. The downside you get of having a large company fund the production of your show is that they get control over it. If you want more creative control, you have to pay for it yourself.
