NBC Items, On- And Off-Record: Video Programming, Possible Leno Exit Strategy

NBC Universal is talking to "several Internet service providers" about providing them with "a full lineup of programming comparable to what it offers traditional pay TV providers," writes Multichannel News' Todd Spangler. That's official, on-the-record news, part of Comcast's annual report to the FCC.

in less-official news -- according to "two high-level industry sources" -- NBC is considering an exit plan for "The Tonight Show"'s Jay Leno in which the host would retire after the 2013-2014 season, to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon. "Sources believe the network will bring in Fallon partly out of concern about the competition on ABC, which moved younger-skewing Jimmy Kimmel  to the 11:35 time slot in January," writes Kim Masters.
