Re: [TV orNotTV] NBC Considering Giving 10 p.m. Back to Affiliates

[PGage]

This is certainly a much less bad idea than making 10:00 the Leno hour,
which cratered the value of three separate time slots (10:00 pm Primetime,
affiliate 11:00 pm news, and 11:35 talk show).

As of 2017 (last period I could find data for, see
https://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/volume-7/television-capturing-americas-attention.htm),
viewership at 10:00 was 63% less than what it was at 8:00 (9:00 pm hour is
95% of 8:00 pm hour).

I would guess costs for programming the 10:00 hour are not 63% less, so
they save money there, while moving the Tonight Show to 11:00 probably
increases its ratings and makes it more valuable.

I wonder if they might consider going back to starting Primetime at 7:30,
while giving affiliates the hour at 10:00? That would seem to maximize
network value, while affiliates would double their local news or syndicated
show opportunities.

“More local ad revenue? Yes, please!”

The question becomes, do the local My-CW-Fox newscasts powered by NBC at 10 
shift to 11 or get simulcast?

[Mark Jeffries]

If it happens, it would not be until next fall, and it seems like they 
would want the affils to do an hour of local news at 10 p.m., since they 
are considering moving up Fallon and Meyers 35 minutes to start at 11 p.m. 
(but would Lorne allow "SNL" to be moved up to 11?):

Of course, we all know what happened the last time NBC tried to make a 
major programming change at 10 p.m.

I do recall that when Katie Couric was hosting she did not seem to be

Alex's system was that he had, basically, a printout of all the clues on the 
board on one large sheet of paper, and he would use a marker or grease pencil 
to cross out each clue after it was used. (If I recall correctly, if you go to 
a taping, you can see one of these used sheets on display in the studio lobby.) 
 I'd obviously be interested to know which guest host couldn't handle that.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Inside Jeopardy podcast

[Tom Wolper]

>From this week’s episode:

They announced last week that the Tournament of Champions will start on
October 31. They got feedback from concerned viewers that the November 8
episode will be pre-empted for election coverage. The producers decided to
air a special episode on that day instead. There was an issue with the last
tournament with the first to win three games format. TV listings and DVRs
gave away the actual number of games played in advance. This happened
during the prime time GOAT Tournament. They said for this ToC the listings
will read “Game 4 (if necessary), etc. And since the tournament will air in
Jeopardy’s usual time slot DVRs are going to record it anyway.

Most of the episode was an interview with the co-head writers. The
interesting things I got out of that were in the old days when the board
was made up of placards, they kept category names simple so they could
reuse the placards. That’s why potent potables would come up so often. When
they switched to video screens they could be much more flexible with
category names.

The other thing was that Alex came up with a way to keep track of what was
going on in the game. If you recall watching him, he would make a check
mark on something on his lectern after each response. The producers had
already been working with a vendor for a new system and when one of the
guest hosts proved simply unable to use Alex’s system they stopped tape,
put in the new system, and started tape again. They never went back to the
old system.
