Conan can slot right in when they talk to their affiliates.
For instance, tonight the schedule for KAYU is
11:00 Fox News
11:30 The Office
12:00 TMZ
12:30 My Name Is Earl
They're playing NBC shows!

something like 180 of 210 fox stations are individually owned though, not by the network. And they have full control over what to air outside of prime time and special events (sports).
so they would have to get everyone to agree to change their lineup and allow Conan to have his own show. Which some are hesitant of because they make money showing reruns, and it would be a risk.
