Turner is eyeing a major change for its resident late-night star.
Speaking with Variety Thursday, Turner Entertainment chief Kevin Reilly confirmed that the company is considering moving O’Brien’s nightly late-night talk show “Conan” to a weekly format.
The potential shift to a once-a-week format reflects the changing realities of the television business. As late-night TV has become more crowded in recent years, programmers have placed a growing emphasis on using comedic talk shows as platforms for creating digital content to be consumed later.
