Defensive Leno Goes On Offensive; He Phoned Affiliates "To Get Feedback"
Deadline.com —
... fall's "Leno effect" drain on their late news ratings. Stations in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York report losses ranging from 22% to 30% compared to last year. And with the Jay Leno Show eking out just a 1.5 or 1.6 rating after 5 weeks on the air, and losing to a week of repeats even though it's got fresh episodes 46 weeks out of the year, it's no surprise that defensive Leno is going on the offensive since he admits his numbers will get even worse during November sweeps. Jay told B&C he personally called a "bunch" of the affiliates last week "just to get feedback" and ...

Morning Shots: Leno Speaks, 'Glee' Gets Clearance, And Oscar Speculation Grows
NPR Blogs: Monkey See —
... • If you read this interview with Jay Leno in at Broadcasting & Cable, you will learn that you should never give an interview in which you explain 50 times why you don't feel defensive and you don't mind criticism being aimed at you, because it will inevitably seem like you mind rather a lot. As others have noted, a beef with NBC is different from a beef with Leno about content, but I don't know that I've ever seen a performer offer so many reasons why every criticism of his show is illegitimate. It's a fascinating piece. ...

Have you heard any talk anywhere from NBC that they are thinking about backtracking on this decision? No, you'll never hear that. They'll never tell you that. What, are you kidding? It's NBC. So they'll just call you, and you'll be off. Welcome to Vietnam. Source I don't watch his show, nor am I fan of Jay, but I thought it would be ...

... board. They don't see it as dire as a lot of people are making it out to be….I think they seemed pleased that someone on at 10 o'clock is concerned about their well-being and their lead-in. Affiliates have recently seen decreases in ratings for their post-"Leno" local newscasts, as well as for NBC's late-night shows. Leno also tells B&C he would have preferred to stay at 11:35 p.m. and if NBC offered him 11:35 p.m. again, he’d take it.

Jay Leno & NBC - Insider Trading And Why It Doesn’t Matter
Celebrity Dirty Laundry —
Well folks if you are one of those (like me) who thinks that Leno’s chin is more entertaining than his banter then you probably are not terribly interested in whether NBC runs Leno at 10 PM or 11:30 PM. The article in B & C examines in tiresome detail the timing and related issues of NBC and Leno - in fact providing more detailed information than one is likely to find in a article dealing with The President’s Health Care Initiative or the consequences of the current election in Afghanistan. Is TV that ...
Leno Show Removing Last Vestiges of Not-Tonight-Show-Ness

... "not being another Tonight Show" but instead a "comedy show at 10"? Not so much anymore. Meanwhile, various hypothetical scenarios are being floated out there (none of which involve NBC restoring Southland-like dramas to its 10 p.m. hour). NBC could give 10 p.m. to its affiliates, moving Jay to 11 and Conan to 12 (thus, in effect, becoming Fox II, which the Leno show was already a half-step towards). It could further screw over Conan and give Jay the Tonight Show back (which Leno told a trade reporter he'd do if asked). Or Comcast could ...
