Leno takes it on the chin. NBC Boston refuses to carry his nightly primetime show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtHz10AbF5E WHDH, NBC’s Boston affiliate, says it will not air Jay Leno’s new nightly show in the highly profitable 10 p.m. hour. Instead, the station says it will run an hour-long local news show.

NBC is not happy. “WHDH’s move is a flagrant violation of the terms of their contract with NBC,” stated John Eck, president of NBC TV. “If they persist, we will strip WHDH of its NBC affiliation. We have a number of other strong options in the Boston market, including using our existing broadcast license to launch an NBC owned and operated station.”

Here’s a completely unrelated Johnny Carson video. Just because late night TV has sucked since the night he retired.
