NBC's Boston Affil Nixes 'Jay Leno'

  • April 3, 2009
WHDH, NBC's Boston affiliate, says it won't air "Jay Leno" at 10 p.m. opting for a local news show instead. NBC has responded by threatening to strip the station of its network affiliation, reports AP. WHDH said the move was bottom line: It did not think the "Leno" show would succeed, and a newscast would be more financially profitable, since WHDH competes with Fox-affiliate WFXT's newscast.

    This show will be up against some popular dramas. This station is standing up rightly. Leno's show will be a colossal failure. Just shows how dumb the brass at NBC is. All to make up for abruptly killing Jay for a better host late night. This will go down in flames.
