TMCNet: Leno story broken from a spare bedroom on Fleming Island

[January 12, 2010]

Leno story broken from a spare bedroom on Fleming Island

Jan 12, 2010 (The Florida Times-Union - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- From a spare bedroom in his Fleming Island home, Scott Jones generates a lot of news stories about the television industry on his Web site, FTVLive.com. But in the past week, he's taken his site to a new level.


"Over the years, I've broken a lot of big stories," said Jones, who started FTVLive in 2000.

"I've gotten mentioned before. But nothing compares to this latest story with Jay Leno," he said.

Jones sent NBC executives scrambling last Thursday by reporting that the network was planning to cancel Leno's 10 p.m. weeknight talk show. As other news outlets picked up the story from FTVLive, NBC finally confirmed over the weekend that it was dropping the show and revamping its late night lineup to move Leno back to his old 11:35 p.m. slot.

"I've had good sources at NBC for quite awhile. My sources are very highly placed," Jones said.

Jones built his sources during a 20-year career in TV news in various cities as a reporter, producer and news director, before leaving the business a decade ago.

"In 2000 TV news, just like the newspaper industry, was starting to change dramatically," he said.

He was living in Amherst, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo, and started a Web site to report on local news in Amherst. But he continued to keep in touch with his contacts in the television industry and, in the era before Facebook, he realized the Internet was a good way to keep up with everyone's news.

"I'll build a Web site so we can all have a place to go," Jones decided.

He said the site started generating a lot of traffic as his friends in the industry told other friends about it. By 2001, Jones decided to start charging a fee for people to access the site and it became a business.

"It's a subscriber only Web site," said Jones, who moved to Fleming Island in 2005. "Basically, it's geared to people who work in TV news." FTVLive has been credited with breaking stories before, such as the 2008 story that Kathie Lee Gifford would be joining NBC's "Today" show.

Jones actually first reported the possibility of NBC moving Leno back to 11:30 p.m. in a Dec. 16 story that did not cause the same splash as last week's news.

"In December, I knew NBC was having meetings at the highest level," he said. "All I was saying was the executives were talking about it. It wasn't a done deal." But on Jan. 7, FTVLive reported that NBC "made the decision to pull the plug on the failed Jay Leno show at 10 p.m." According to Jones, Leno didn't even know that. Shortly after his story appeared on the Web site, Jones was interviewed on a Los Angeles news radio station that Leno was tuned to, he said.

"That's how Jay Leno found out he was being taken off 10 o'clock," Jones said.

Jones of course has continued to report on the story this week. His latest news Tuesday morning was on Conan O'Brien's reaction to NBC's late night mess. If Leno takes over the 11:35 time slot, O'Brien's "The Tonight Show" would be moved past midnight and O'Brien "is more than ticked off" about that, FTVLive said. So even though O'Brien likely can't get out of his contract, he's not making things easy for NBC executives.

"He's going to let NBC twist in the wind as long as he can," Jones said.

Later Tuesday afternoon, O'Brien issued a statement saying he does not want to do "The Tonight Show" if it is moved to 12:05 a.m. to accommodate Leno's new show.
