I don't think there's enough reward out there for a local affiliate to justify the risk involved with refusing carriage. Their major worry was money from the late local news, which won't be affected by whatever follows it. Moreover, there's no indication that anything a local affiliate could do would draw any more eyeballs than Leno (or any original programming). Maybe a station could roll a dice with expanding the late local news to sixty minutes. That would be awesome, particularly if it's in a huge market that would humiliate Leno.
I wonder if I've been clear enough re. how I feel about all of this. Beau ...who was sad when he realized he'd have to boycott the Winter Olympics ====== AIM/Gmail Chat: damonbeau www.facebook.com/damonbeau www.twitter.com/damonbeau--
