NBC May Bail on 10 pm Hour

NBC’s 10 pm programming block may soon become must-flee TV.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the network may stop programming the 10-11 pm hour, potentially giving those seven hours to local TV stations. The idea — which could take effect as early as Fall 2023 — is reportedly being considered as a way to cut costs amid declining linear ratings.

Remember when NBC gave Jay Leno the 10PM hour five nights a week, but it killed ratings for the affiliates’ 11PM newscasts, so Conan O’Brien had The Tonight Show stolen from him?

Pretty sure that’s how every Fox affiliate in the country does it.

I could see NBC doing that here and moving the Tonight Show up to 11pm.
