QUICK TAKES - April 4, 2009
Associated Press
NBC says it knows of no other affiliates seeking to follow Boston’s lead and abandon Jay Leno.
WHDH in Boston said it would air a local newscast at 10 p.m. this fall instead of Leno’s planned week-nightly show at that hour. Management said it believed a newscast would make the station more money.
NBC responded firmly, threatening to strip WHDH of its network affiliation if it doesn’t air Leno -- sending a message to any other stations that may be thinking of doing the same thing.
