Is Letterman the big man on campus?

by AARON BARNHART


Several noteworthy programs air this week, most of them on other nights. While we wait for them, I thought you should know that:

•_CBS chief Leslie Moonves thinks David Letterman would be beating Jay Leno in the ratings if the Nielsen ratings service would count group viewership at colleges and sports bars.

“He's watched by a lot more people than are watching Leno late at night in frat houses all over America,” Moonves says in an interview in the April Playboy. Perhaps, but “Adult Swim” on Cartoon Network is bigger than both of them. Ratings for the nightly mix of “Family Guy” and “Futurama” reruns top Letterman's and Leno's among teenage and 20-something guys.
