Nightlline has been doing well in it's current slot beating the late night talkers giving a good lead-in to Jimmy Kimmel who also has been doing well. (Source info from TVNEWSER) There has always been a rumors about Nightline being canceled , but moving is a better option. But could the move to later cause a problem for the program? The Fact that that lead-in from local news is gone , Nightline is now depending on People who may watch Nightline but not Kimmel still be loyal , and come to the program at the later time. The move helps Jimmy Kimmel because he gets that local news lead-in , and maybe some of the Nightline viewers , maybe those who saw Nightline as the time to change to Jeno or Letterman or something else may stay to see what Kimmel is. Nightline being later my also cause people who drop off to bed after 12/11c may lose viewers who don't stay up that late. 12:30/11:30c is also the same time LateNight with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Late Show , 2 programs that have been established in that spot for years, would make it harder to compete against .
So, the questions are , 1.) Will Nightlines viewers want to see Kimmel in the first place? 2) Will Nightline Viewers be willing to stay up even later to see their show? 3.) Will Kimmel be able to complete fully with the NBC and CBS programs at their start times? 4.) Will both programs suffer as a result of the move in some way?
Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel Live move January 8th at 11:35pm/10:35c/10:35m/11:35pt , on ABC.
Correction : we originally said that the change starts January 7th it starts on January 8th.
