When does Conan O'Brian on TBS Begin Airing or Launch? Release Date Rumors

It is widely rumored that Conan O'Brian had a choice between Fox and TBS (a cable channel), and that Conan chose TBS. This new show on TBS will launch at 11pm in November.

Apparently part of the difficulty in getting a Conan show on the air at 11pm on Fox is that many local affiliates had already signed expensive content deals to provide programming during that time for the next several years. This would mean that a new Conan show would not be on the air in many markets, since the parent Fox distributor did not seem intent on swallowing this cost themselves.

Conan's move to Cable also mirrors Oprah Winfrey's move to cable.
