NBC CEO disappointed with 'Kidnapped'

NBC chief executive Bob Wright has expressed disappointment at the performance of the network's new thriller, Kidnapped.

The show, which occupies the 10pm slot on Wednesdays, made a disappointing debut two weeks ago with 7.5m viewers; its most recent outing averaged just 6.3m, down significantly week-on-week and even on its Biggest Loser lead-in of 7m viewers.

"Kidnapped is clearly a bit of a disappointment," said Wright. "I think we probably just had a show that was maybe too difficult a concept."
