The affiliates might be pissed, but NBC isn't going to care. Compared to the hour-long dramas that have traditionally filled NBC's 10pm slot, Leno's show costs almost nothing to produce. NBC will stick with Leno until advertisers refuse to pay the ad rates and said rates fall enough that 5 prime time hours of Leno per week is no longer profitable. Check back in about a year for signs of cracks.
Or just keep an eye on deadlinehollywooddaily.com. Nikki Finke never misses a chance to illustrate the idiocy of Jeff Zucker and the people who keep him in decision-making positions. Which is not a criticism of Nikki Finke. --Rose On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 7:44 AM, <damonb...@gmail.com> wrote: > The folks at NBC4 probably feel pretty good about themselves -- GAINING > viewers going into the 11pm hour -- but I'm certain they are just as pissed > at Leno as everyone else right now. > > > http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/05/AR2009100503697.html?hpid=dynamiclead > ====== > AIM/Gmail Chat: damonbeau > www.facebook.com/damonbeau > www.twitter.com/damonbeau > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
