“”...a study emerged Wednesday illustrating just how damaging Leno’s prime-time show was to NBC’s local stations.
The research firm Harmelin Media said local NBC stations saw their late news audience drop by an average of 25 percent in November compared with the previous year among 25- to 54-year-old viewers. That’s the demographic upon which news advertising rates are based.
The decline was particularly steep in some of the largest markets: 48 percent in New York, 43 percent in Los Angeles and 47 percent in Philadelphia...
“We all knew it was going to go down,” Shimkus said. “But I don’t think anyone forecast anything in the neighborhood of 40 to 50 percent.”
Harmelin used data on the number of ads run in late local news programs and their cost to calculate that over a three-month period, the Leno experiment would cost these stations collectively $22 million. The 10 stations that NBC owns and operates would lose something like $570,000 per week, the report said.””
sick of this already. Make them all go away...and take that Kate Gosselin woman with you on the way out.
I think what they did to Conan is a disgrace.....and Leno should be ashamed of himself for making jokes about Conan.
That Jeff Zucker sure is a shrewd businessman.
Conan is now and has always been the most physically repulsive host in the history of television. Many, many people begged Zucker not to bring him to the network where he sent women screaming into the bathroom.
Conan should be grateful for the money he's gotten over the years entertaining stoned, frat-boys who light their gaseous emissions and not make the mistake of thinking he will be missed.

I’m surprised they let Wanda Sykes go to FoX.
This is NBC’s New Coke episode.
Conan is a waste of space, he is just an overage 4th grader still telling potty jokes!
