I have a feeling that the purpose behind The Apprentice was to build celebrity status while demonstrating his ability to cut through BS and hold people accountable. It was Trump's covert campaign that ran for 15 years before he even announced he was running. He knew as soon as he announced his candidacy he would lose major network support.
I have a very small, completely unsubstantiated theory that NBC has been under white hat control for awhile as a stealth media arm for tiny leaks. Possibly via GE's military connections. This is based completely on instinctual interpretations of some "here's some weird stuff that kind of relates to Q" in The Office and Parks and Rec. I'm guessing I'd see some in 30 Rock too if I rewatched. I obviously agree with u/space_monkey 's theory.
Again, completely instinctual and unprovable but since it came up... 😉
To OP, I'm appreciative of these Soweto posts today. Thanks.

That sounds like the most likely/logical explanation that I haven’t considered until your mention of it. Well done, Anon.
