Nightline Tops Leno & Letterman

The NYTimes’ Jacques Steinberg says Nightline is on a ratings roll, and it’s not just beccause the WGA strike has sent Leno and Letterman into reruns. Steinberg writes, “For the first time since Hurricane Katrina overwhelmed the news airwaves two years ago — and, for that matter, for the first time since Ted Koppel retired from network television shortly thereafter — ABC’s Nightline drew more viewers in a week last week than the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Show with David Letterman.”
