The ABC Network is denying The New York Times’ recent report that Jimmy Kimmel Live! might make the jump from its midnight slot to a half-hour earlier, 11:30 p.m., to combat Conan O'Brien’s Tonight Show. O’Brien takes over the show from Jay Leno in June. Leno is going on to host a primetime talk show on NBC.
News reports today quote an unnamed source as saying there have been “zero” discussions about the move. Such a change would most likely mean the end of Nightline, ABC’s long-running news/talk program.
