I don't think Conan is the problem, (although his ratings were down.)
It's the fact that Leno was sucking in his new time slot and the affiliate stations were complaining about losing around 30% of their viewership as a lead-in to their nightly local news broadcasts.
While Leno was cheaper for them to produce than dramas, he apparently can't bring in enough viewers as compared to the more expensive dramas they used to play in that time slot.
