I would think the top of his list would be FOX because it is a broadcast network and would mean more money and a higher profile. The premium cable networks (HBO, Showtime) would be interesting because they could push the envelope a lot more and would be less reliant on ratings.

i honestly think that will be a huge factor in Conan's decision. as nice as getting a top rated talkshow on FOX would be, there's no guarantee that the wouldn't pull the same kind of crap on him that NBC did. with HBO he would have a lot more job security, at least for the first few years. wouldn't have to worry about pleasing local affiliates, and he wouldn't be a direct competitor to Leno or Letterman
