CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves challenged Jay Leno to a ratings duel when the late-night talk show host moves his NBC show to a prime-time slot of 10 p.m. next fall. “I will bet anybody who would like to bet that ‘CSI: Miami’ on Monday night at 10 o’clock will beat Jay by a lot. Last week, NBC Universal, a unit of General Electric Co., laid off about 500 employees, or about 3 percent of its work force, as part of a plan to trim $500 million next year. We have hit shows every night of the week,” Moonves said. “It remains a good business, and when the advertising markets come back in full force, it will be extremely effective for us.”More on Jay Leno | 'CSI Miami'
