Good morning, today is Tuesday March 2nd and I’m Trent Barter bringing you the morning update. Last night talk show host Jay Leno made his return to his former time slot as host of the “Tonight Show” nearly 9 months after he left the position at NBC. Leno’s biggest challenge will be winning back the audience for the once highly-rated “Tonight Show” that has suffered plummeting ratings since Leno’s original departure.
Perhaps adding some pressure to the comeback, the show makes its return to NBC on the heels of the highly successful Winter Olympics.
The games culminated on Sunday afternoon with the highly-anticipated, men’s gold medal hockey game between USA and host-country Canada. The favored Canadians outlasted team USA, 3 to 2 when Sidney Crosby slapped in the game-winning goal in overtime. The game itself scored 27.6 million viewers, making it the most watched hockey game since the 1980 US gold medal-clinching game.
While the Olympics have come to a halt, the winter weather is still at work, as the Northeast is recovering from a harsh weekend. From Maine to Maryland snow and ferocious winds have caused travelers much grief with the cancellation of 2700 flights Friday and Saturday. Winds gusted up to greater than 60 miles per hour in Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire causing the delay in weekend travel.
For your morning update, I’m Trent Barter.
