Yes, but when they decided to move Lopez to midnight, they must have known
that he would get smaller ratings than he had at 11:00. I am not saying that
he only needed to do as well as whatever rerun he replaced, but certainly
there must have been a target rating somewhere between his previous 11:00
ratings and the old Midnight ratings. If we knew what those old midnight
ratings were, we might have some idea of what a reasonable expectation for
Lopez would have been.
