ABC affiliates expect a ratings opportunity this fall when NBC airs the new Jay Leno show at 10 p.m., according to ABC affiliates board chairman Darrell Brown, Broadcasting & Cable reports. Brown had overseen the affiliates’ meeting at NAB-RTNDA in Las Vegas earlier this week, the trade magazine says. He added that the affiliates were pleased with the in-the-works programs at ABC, although he wouldn’t comment on them.
