If it ain't broke, don't fix it.<p>CSI Files previously <A class="link" HREF="http://www.csifiles.com/news/101208_03.shtml">reported</a> that NBC will premiere a primetime show for <font color=yellow>Jay Leno</font> starting in the fall of 2009. It will air at 10:00pm, a time when network television usually fills its schedule with scripted programmes. The show, which will air five nights a week, is going to compete with series like <I>CSI: Miami</I> and <I>CSI: New York</I>.<p>CBS Corporation CEO <font color=yellow>Leslie Moonves</font> felt confident in the continued performance of CBS shows. "I will bet anybody who would like to bet that <I>CSI: Miami</I> on Monday night at 10 o'clock will beat Jay by a lot. Remember that -- by a lot," he said at a UBS media conference, according to <A class="link" HREF="http://www.reuters.com/home">Reuters</a>.<p>"Certain people are having audience erosion, and certain people aren't," Moonves explained, and CBS wins the 10:00pm hour four out of five weeknights. "I'm here to tell you the model ain't broken," he continued. "You can still make a lot of money in network television. We like 10 o'clock shows."<p>The original information is from <A class="link" HREF="http://www.reuters.com/article/industryNews/idUSTRE4BA1K520081211?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0">Reuters</a>.<center></center>
