Another thing to consider. Conan caters to a younger crowd... A younger crowd that A. probably makes up a smaller percentage of Nielson households, and B. a younger crowd that watches TV on the internet, along with DVRs/Tivo, etc...
Reported ratings aren't the only reason this happen. The primary reason this happened was because the local affiliates were not happy with Leno. People were fine with Conan. This really has very little to do with Conan. Leno gave bad lead ins to the news, local affiliates got mad and complained. NBC knew it would have to cancel Leno, but they didn't want to lose him, so they moved him.
This was never about people not watching Conan to begin with.
