What is up with the KNBC issue with programming? Jay Leno's 10pm show just is not doing well in the ratings. So to appease the affiliate stations, the "broadcaster" has to make choices. Just as the choice to put The Jay Leno Show at 10pm, KNBC can move the show to another time slot. It just happens to be the same time slot that Conan O'Brien has. It has become obvious that at KNBC, aka Jeff Zucker, that Jay is the favored child in the battle of late night programing. Funny it just happens to be within the same broadcaster family. Truely, it is not Jay's fault as he is technically an employee of KNBC, and is bound to his contract. Conan, now being shown he is the ugly step-child of KNBC's late night programing, is being moved to follow Jay, the host he is replacing. It appears to me that Conan's once loyal audience did not follow him to the new show and time. So instead of Conan being allowed to build his audience, KNBC will pit Jay and Conan against each other in a incestuous gladiator match. Conan should be the champion pitted against David on KCBS and run the battle that way. Current choices will only ruin KNBC's late night programming and allow David to gain audience share.
Now on the brighter side, Craig Ferguson. He is so hilarious. Wish he was on earlier. Just give him time, he'll become the king of late night.
Jay's show did not make the rating as expected, so what do you do with him? Conan's show did not build the audience as expected. So you keep both, or lose both?
