Yes, same format, but the point being emphasized is that Full Frontal (which we’ve been led to believe was going to be a “late night” show) will be airing earlier than the 11:00pm east coast time that we’ve normally considered the dividing line between “prime time” and “late night.” Last Week

It would fit with Last Week Tonight or Real Time in the once-weekly aspect.  And as someone who doesn't have the premium cable channels, this is a blind spot of mine. But the only other programs I can think of that were considered late night that aired before 11 pm would be The Jay Leno Show

Sorry, I ellipsised too quickly and should have been clearer: For me, "late-night" is about air time, not content. So Bill Maher doing the exact same show an hour earlier takes him out of late-night for me. On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 5:19 PM, Jon Delfin wrote: > On Mon, Feb 1,

Re: [TV orNotTV] Full Frontal is coming next Monday

Part of the expectation of a 'late night' show, besides the use of the phrase, was that the show was expected to be paired with Conan's.  Now it's true that Full Frontal is paired with the show, but just one night a week and as a lead-in. And I'll say right now I do not expect this confusion

Re: [TV orNotTV] Grease live

That is an interesting but somewhat disjointed interview with Platt. I did not follow the production of this very closely - were there really two separate performances for each Coast? I think I may have argued once that they could do that, but it seems unlikely they did one show from 4:00 to 7:00

And for the record: I kinda knew it was a weekly show, but I assumed, as you mention, with it being so branded "late night" that the time slot would've been Friday at 11. Monday at 10:30 seems really odd, given how the station generally runs same-show blocks during the week. On Mon, Feb 1, 2016

It's worth quickly revisiting the history of NFLN. When the owners decided to launch it in 2006, the whole idea was to eventually put games on it. It was sold to the owners on the theory that carriage rights would be worth more than if the league had put the games up for competitive bid. The
