Will Comcast Cancel Leno? (Oh How I Hope!)

[nx1701g]

Should DVR ever be considered in ratings then it may be a problem. I read a few days ago that Leno has a lot of DVR viewers.

I've never seen Leno so I don't know but is there a lot of built in ad placement or owt like that, then DVR could count more than the norm.

I do remember that they have frequent mentions to Ford on the show especially in the Green Car Challenge.

What's more interesting, and damaging to him, is that ABC and CBS have told their actors/actresses that they are to avoid going onto Leno's show or there could be consequences.

Regardless of how you feel about him, I feel really bad for Conan when current NBC advertising tells people to "wrap up their night with Jay Leno". Could you imagine NBC telling people to "go to bed after the NBC Nightly News" when Leno was on late?

I don't know what the rules are, but I think the affiliates are going to start dumping Leno whenever possible before NBC cancels the show.

They can't. NBC Universal threatened NBC Boston. Boston said they weren't going to show Leno and instead do 90 minutes of news. NBC Parent said no, if Boston station tried tried that NBC Parent would launch their own NBC Boston and cut the other channel from showing NBC shows.

Is NBC Boston like CTV Toronto or CBC Toronto in Canada?
