The Wall Street Journal has an article with the headline "NBC, Affiliates Begin To Make Up." I'm not quite sure why someone thinks they need to make up, since it was the affiliates who pushed NBC to make the initial decision to get rid of Leno at 10:00. But I don't recall hearing that affiliates wanted Leno back at 11:35.
The best (and by best, I mean most delusional) quote: "Bill Carroll, vice president and director of programming for Katz Television Group, which works with local TV stations on advertising sales, said Mr. Leno simply needs 'another Hugh Grant.' Mr. Leno's deft 1995 interview with the actor, who was coming off an embarrassing arrest, has been credited with kick-starting his 'Tonight Show' ratings." Because, of course, once-in-a-career opportunities come around twice in a career, especially to a damaged brand like Jay Leno.
