TV Guide looks at the changes being discussed by NBC.
For one thing, it appears the shows will all be based in New York. Because of that they are trying to figure out ways to design the shows to prevent booking-wars. According to the article, the new Late Night show (presumably to be hosted by Seth Meyers) will have more newsmakers as guests and less Hollywood-type stars for that reason.
You wouldn't think booking wars would take place between two shows on the same network, but I can tell you from my previous experience as a producer in the old Loop days, there's no way to avoid booking wars. We had five different big-time shows all vying for the same guests in those days, and competed against ourselves on a daily basis. It was actually kind of fun.
