NBC is reportedly considering cutting back their prime-time hours due to the network’s declining popularity.
The network may stop programming the 10 to 11 p.m. time slots and give them to local TV stations instead, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Friday. No future plans on the matter have been finalized with NBC’s affiliate board, meaning the 10 p.m. time slot may remain.
The change would likely occur in the fall of 2023, sources familiar told the outlet. The network’s late night programming, including “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” would likely move to an earlier time slot, from its current 11:30 p.m. slot to either 10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. Cutting back programming will save NBC tens of millions of dollars in content costs, and satisfy affiliates who will earn more ad revenue by adding an extra hour of programming, the outlet reported.
“We are always looking at strategies to ensure that our broadcast business remains as strong as possible. As a company, our advantage lies in our ability to provide audiences with the content they love across broadcast, cable and streaming,” an NBC spokeswoman said, according to the WSJ.

Nothing But Crap
Have they considered offering balanced news reporting and non-political entertainment?
No, sorry, that’s crazy talk.
Hasta LA Vista baby!!!!!
If the just did Gilligan’s Island reruns 24/7 it might be worth watching again.
Brian Williams was shot down in a helicopter 🚁 over Gilligan’s Island.
Maybe it was Ted’s. And then he bought a cheeseburger or chili fries 🍟 out of an airplane.
The Gay Chicken Network.
I know what some folks might think... they’ll moderate their
programming.
No, they will give Hillary a two hour slut. They may toss
in a slot too.
It sounds like the “extra hour” could be 10:00-10:30 plus 11:30-12:00 midnight, or maybe later.
I can’t help but feel a little “Win” reading this.
Two new episodes of a program followed by two-to-four reruns, no wonder they are shedding viewership.
Cord cutting isn’t helping either.
Well...bye.
Went woked, going broke
NBC could play reruns of Supertrain, BJ and the bear, Sheriff Lobo and the like 24/7 and I might watch some.
It’s a shame. The Spinners: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=spinners+itsa+a+ahame&view=detail&mid=F0B0611FA5B06C75682EF0B0611FA5B06C75682E&FORM=VIRE0&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dspinners%2bitsa%2ba%2bahame
get woke go broke
Makes as much sense as cutting back on food because you are hungry. Why don’t they try programming that isn’t woke social justice equitable?
Maybe they would be more popular, if they would report the “news” with some level of honesty.
I only ever watch NBC for the purpose of knowing what falsehoods they are spewing to all the vulnerable leftists.
Well, they could consider putting Biden on for an hour or two in prime time, being as how the network and all liberal stations think that Biden is so popular and best president ever.
