Huh? Jay doesn't compete with newscasts, he comes before them. 10-11 is Jay, 11 is news, 11:30 is Conan.
I don't know if that's sarcasm but local newscasts and local affiliates were getting killed because instead of what NBC used to have (something like E.R.) leading into the local news, you had the Jay Leno Show, which nobody watched leading into local news. That's one of the motivations for this move.
