NBC has been running several week-old episodes of Leno and Conan in 
the late night for quite a few years now.  It's probably not making 
much money for the network or the affiliates, but at least it's not 
losing money like the previous all-night newscasts.  ABC seems to 
have that time period wrapped up for news, there simply isn't a 
market for more than one overnight newscast.

If Bob has a better idea for how to make money with original 
programming in the overnight period, I suggest that he present his 
proposal to NBC's programming department.

And yes, the 4:30 AM "Early Today" newscast on NBC comes directly 
from MSNBC.  So what!
