>From the LA Times: In 2010, Kimmel's late-night show took in almost $82 million in advertising revenue, according to consulting firm Kantar Media. Last year, it took in almost $100 million. Clearly, Kimmel is on the rise and ABC thinks that moving him to an earlier time slot, when a bigger audience is available, will mean higher commercial rates. Kimmel has his work cut out for him. NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" made $159.4 million in 2011, and CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" generated $154.6 million. But Kimmel doesn't have to top Leno and Letterman for the move to pay off for ABC. All he has to do is top what "Nightline" was delivering. Given that Kantar has "Nightline" taking in $40.2 million in 2011 (for a half-hour), that should be easy work for Kimmel. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-latenightad-20120821,0,7735578.story -- TV or Not TV ....
