I would imagine her BBT contract allows stuff like this, or her agent wouldn't have accepted the gig from Dish. I wonder how CBS forced her to remove it? Perhaps her contract is up for renewal soon?
More likely her contract never even considered the situation. But, she does not work for CBS, she works for Warner Brothers Television. They sell CBS the show.
Kaley Cuoco from the Big Bang Theory supports Autohop
Looks like CBS is getting screwed again as one of their most popular stars tweeted that she likes Autohop.

She may not even have Dish service. It was a paid tweet. She was merely a paid spokesperson.I wonder if CBS told her she had to cancel her Dish service also
Usually, the network has quite a bit of creative and contractual control on its programming, regardless of the production studio or show runners.
it wouldn't surprise me if she deleted on her own to stay out of the controversy. Especially once it started gaining traction in the media. If it's a choice between a tweet or millions of dollars in salary, most people would choose to bury the tweet.
CBS asked The Consumerist to change their headline for their post on the story. What is CBS thinking?

Anyone who heard or read about the CES CNET/CBS fiasco isn't likely to believe CBS on this one. They reap what they sow, and deservedly so. I also note there is no categorical denial that they had nothing in the least to do with it. They could have communicated a "suggestion" to an intermediary. We know they aren't too bright over there.
Since she's the RAV4 Genie it would be a neat move for her to become the new Directv Genie.
That would be great
...This is petty by all at CBS and shows what kids they are at CBS 
Sounds like a good idea for a new ad...... knock knock knock PENNY!
Sell some service for a penny and get Cuoco to pitch it. She's pitching everything else these days (Priceline, the car company she had the super bowl commercial with, etc.).
