Nightline changes time

ABC  TV NEWS Latenight 

 Written By Skyler
       Last year , ABC announced that they will be moving long time staple 11:35/10:35c program Nightline to 12:30/11:30c  and  Jimmy Kimmel to 11:35PM slot.
  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.
