Jay Leno's new time slot wreaks havoc for NBC affiliates

NBC's decision to move the talk show king to 10 p.m. is undermining viewership of local late-night newscasts, which are a crucial source of revenue for the network's affiliates.

When I do watch Leno they have the newsbreak which gives me all the top stories. Why stay up until 11pm to watch it all over again?

That article is mainly a re-hash of the anti Jay stuff that's been going on since the show started...

Yep, no new news here...

What they really should do, is allow the affiliates to show their news at 10:00pm, and then show Leno at 10:30pm.

I wonder how many of these NBC stations have news broadcast in HD? My NBC broadcasts local news in SD only and I will always watch local CBS which is HD.

My local affiliate has news from 5 - 7 (with Brian Williams at 5:30 pm so I rarely watch the 10 pm news as it is usually rehashed and avoid the CBS and ABC locals that hawk investigative crap only at 10 pm...
