A Late Night Discussion Post about Late Night TV :)
The 10 Good, Bad and the Truly Dumb Points of NBC Putting Leno on at 10:00    So much for vacations and "work stoppages" - damn you NBC and your inane corporate tinkering! My post Monday on NBC's delicious idea to stop programming as many hours (or even nights) was barely up before the Peacock ruffled even more feathers by announcing that it had signed Jay Leno to do "The Jay Leno Show" five nights a week at 10 p.m. starting next fall. (Granted, Leno's feathers were,

CBS boss Les Moonves challenges Jay Leno to ratings duel with 'CSI'
NEW YORK - CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves challenged Jay Leno to a ratings duel when the late-night talk show host moves his NBC show to a prime-time slot of 10 p.m. next fall. "I will bet anybody who would like to bet that 'CSI: Miami' on Monday night at 10 o'clock will beat Jay by a lot. Remember that. By a lot," Moonves said Wednesday at an investor conference hosted by UBS. Moonves said CBS was winning the ratings war in four of the five weeknights in the 10 p.m. time slot, wit

Will the Last Person to Watch a Broadcast Network Please Turn Off the Set?
Why, you wonder, is NBC turning over a third of its weeknight programming to Jay Leno? There are specific reasons having to do with the in-the-toiletness of NBC at present, but there are also, as they say, systemic causes. Namely, no one is watching broadcast-network TV.  Well, not no one. But a new study has found viewership sharply down for the big networks this season, even as it has risen for cable. (The study, I must note, come from Turner Networks, which is part of Time Warner like Time

`Nightline' producer doesn't feel saved
It's possible that Jay Leno's decision to stay at NBC might have saved ABC's "Nightline" from being axed, but the show's producer doesn't think so. If Leno hadn't decided to stay at NBC for a nightly prime-time show, it was a good bet that he'd head to another network. ABC, and the late-night time slot held by "Nightline," would have been a strong possibility, given its attempt to lure David Letterman six years ago. James Goldston, executive producer of "Nightline," says it wasn't a certaint

Is Jay Leno the saviour of NBC?
It seems like almost everyone loves Jay Leno, right? NBC certainly seem to think so and are piling on the pressure hoping that Jay will be the answer to their ratings woe. They are touting the new tentatively titled ‘The Jay Leno Show’ as their big show in the 10pm weeknights slot. Leno has spoken about how he’s planning to keep the best parts of his ‘Tonight Show’ such as the monologue, Jaywalking and guests. With a bigger budget however, Leno is likely to go all

Ed Martin: NBC and Jay Leno Put Broadcast Television in Play
 If nothing else, NBC’s announcement this week that it will in September 2009 turn over one third of its Monday-Friday primetime schedule to Tonight Show host Jay Leno has put broadcast television as we know it into play. Nobody can say what the impact of this first of its kind programming strategy will be in the long run, but it will certainly mark the biggest change to the primetime broadcast landscape since 1971, when CBS, NBC and ABC were made by the FCC to surrender a collective nine hours o
