Even though now former NBCer Conan O’Brien has been widely rumored to be jumping to Fox this fall, David Zurawik at baltimoresun.com reports that may of Fox’s affiliates may not be so keen on clearing time for a network talk show at 11 PM, when many stations run news or syndicated shows. Says Bill Fanshawe of Baltimore’s Fox affiliate, Sinclair-owned Channel 45/WBFF: “If there was an opportunity and the network got Conan, for us, one of the biggest factors would involve us having a brand (local news) built at 10 and 11 – and established in those time periods. But if there was some flexibility… and they would consider having Conan come on after 11:30, yes, there could be an opportunity at my particular Fox station in Baltimore”…..

DCRTV reports that Kirk Clyatt, formerly of Fox 45 Baltimore (WBFF), is currently working on a temporary basis doing morning weather on Fox 43 (WMPT) in Harrisburg, PA.
