Pretty great interview about the NBC upfront over at Variety. Talks a lot about Leno @ 10 and how in the hell networks plan on surviving. Dare I say I actually see the NBC business plan at being far stronger over the long-term than the other networks?

To paraphrase a long time GE employee, genius is one percent inspiration, 99 percent desperation.
To give credit, it sounds like NBC is willing to rethink things. Then again, that’s what fourth-place networks should do.
I guess what makes me hesitant is that the same people that oversaw NBC’s decline are still the ones in charge. It’s like the Mets saying, “we believe success in the future depends upon good starting pitching and that’s why we’re proud to announce the re-signing of Oliver Perez.” It doesn’t matter how sound your plan is, it’s not going to work without the right personnel.
