NBC has announced it's moving Jay Leno back to 11:35 week nights after his 10 o'clock slot failed to gain viewership. Chris Harper, a journalism professor at Temple University, says the sale of NBC Universal could have prompted the change: "I think that the recent merger with Comcast really put NBC on the firing line. Comcast clearly looked at the numbers and told NBC ’you have to fix this’ and I think that merger really put pressure on Jeff Zucker, the head of NBC, to come up with a fix and come up with one fast and that's what happened."

The trendy "condo conversion" model that for a few years offered ownership opportunities in downtown high rises has given way to renting once again. Renting is once again considered a good option. Temple University real estate expert Forrest Huffman said renting has been a good bet as potential buyers waited for sales to bottom out since the historic buying run screeched to a halt in 2008. But he also says 2010 may bring the end of falling property values, making it a good time to buy when combined with all the government tax credits. "My guess is the economy turns around, jobs pick up and that’s when people start getting back into the housing market," Huffman said. "You want to be in just before then."
