I honestly don't think the tonight show's low ratings are as big an issue here as people are making out to be. The problem is that NBC is getting a lot of push back from the local affiliates for low News ratings, these are proceeded by Leno. hence they blame Leno for the week lead-ins.
NBC does not want to lose Leno as they're afraid he'll go to Fox and compete against them.
NBC had to make a choice, lose Conan or Lose Leno.
who would you chose to compete against you if you were the president of NBC?
NBC is in a lose/lose position now. all because Leno changed his mind and decided he wanted to keep going after he said he wanted to retire. He screwed NBC royally.
