Also consider that NBC is pushing out Leno for Conan for the Tonight Show next year. Looking at the ratings, you have to wonder if NBC is making another bonehead play.

Here, NBC also dominates the Morning Shows. The Today Show is a huge money maker for them. Also, NBC Nightly News is in an ongoing dogfight with ABC for first, but they're not dominant.

But you're right, they have few things during prime-time to be happy about.

Also, once I get a few weeks posted for Late Night I will add a chart similar to the ones for Evening News so folks can see long term trends.

interesting stuff … i am almost surprised that the late late show is so close to late night on the season in terms of total viewers since it is my guess that NBC gives late night a much bigger budget than CBS allows. however, its also surprising how badly the tonight show beats the field.

i always wondered about these though.
