WHDH 10 PM News Announcement - 4/2/09

WHDH (Channel 7 Boston) runs afoul of NBC by announcing a 10 PM newscast starting in September - directly conflicting with NBC's national broadcast of Jay Leno's new comedy show. NBC has threatened to strip WHDH of their affiliation if they don't comply.

One word:

FAIL.

[SellawEvets]

Looks like Boston may be getting a new NBC station.

@OTownNews Well, on a footnote: Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show flopped (getting its ass kicked by Letterman on WBZ) and after the Olympics, Leno was back at 11:35 while Conan would later take his act to TBS.

Never happened.

Reportedly, Jay Leno himself convinced WHDH not to do it.

@SellawEvets Did not happen and they cleared Jay...ONLY TO BE PROVEN RIGHT!!! WHDH DID TAKE A HIT!!!!

Hmm....it's been close to 9 months. Leno is sinking himself - and most of the 11:00/10:00 local news in the country - like the Titanic. Still think that 10:00 news on 7 is a fail now?

Wake up 7 news there is a reason why you didn't place first in any competitive time slot this past July. People are fed up with your glitz and glam tabloid news style.

what pisses me off most is how khazei said this was exciting news!

who the fuck does this station think it is telling us what is or isn't exciting news?

tell you what whdh, when you start delivering real news, not blood & guts, then you might have the authority to tell us what's exciting or not.

channel 7, stop playing the viewers in the boston market for the fools YOU indeed are.

glad you had to back track on your god damned stupidity.

STOP PLAYING BOSTONIANS FOR THE FOOLS YOU ARE!

that's not exciting news, what they are doing is refusing to carry the jay leno program on their idiotic station.
