is less prejudicial to not invest in television
I wouldn't use "stop" but rather preserve "menos prejudicial" as it does't mean a full stop on investments but just diminishing it at a specific moment.

: "dejar de invertir" does strongly imply a 'full stop' on investment

least damaging (time) to pull out of the investment
In biz-speak, the question would be couched in terms of 'damage limitation', not 'prejudice'. For example:
¿en qué momento/s es menos perjudicial dejar de invertir en televisión?
-->
when is/are (or: would be) the least damaging time(s) to pull out of our investment in TV (advertising)?
¿en qué momento/s es menos perjudicial dejar de invertir en televisión?
-->
when is/are (or: would be) the least damaging time(s) to pull out of our investment in TV (advertising)?

: "pull out"....nice reminder, thanks. All too easy to go on automatic pilot: viz. "stop", "cease"...etc.

I would say

"when's the best time to stop investing in television/TV" is more accurate .... "when it's best" is not so good as it could refer to a situation rather than a time and your text refers to time

I think the temporal component is important here and shouldn't be left out
