Re: NBC is Considering Cutting an Hour of Primetime
 
I agree what was alluded to earlier that depending on what market it is, sometimes local news broadcasts in some smaller markets are just not that interesting. And I don’t think giving the 10pm hour back to them really benefits.

Obviously Los Angeles and New York can fill an hour or half hour newscast easily and they have more ad revenue coming in. But a lot of small towns in middle America just don’t have the budget and resources to program another hour.

So reruns of THE OFFICE which probably would outrage some of their 10pm shows anyway

But remember the affiliates are paying for that Office rerun. It can be cheaper to produce a local show instead.
