With Conan O’Brien reportedly leaving NBC, Sacramento’s KTXL Fox 40 has announced that it will offer the late-night host a day job on its program Wednesday.

Fox has been mulling a late-night talk show with Mr. O’Brien, who is likely to host his last episode of “The Tonight Show” on Friday after a dispute with NBC over plans to push back the show’s air time by half an hour. Fox has said it won’t broach the subject in earnest until Mr. O’Brien leaves NBC, which is finalizing the terms of the comedian’s departure.

The Wednesday edition of “Fox 40 Live” will include a “formal” job offer to O’Brien, station officials said.

People familiar with the matter say there is a division between Fox creative types, who believe Mr. O’Brien is a talented and audience-attracting performer, and finance executives, who aren’t quite sold yet that Fox would generate significant profit from a five-night-a-week talk show.

Although it sounds as outrageous as any of O’Brien’s humor, news director Brandon Mercer was quoted on the station’s Web site as being “totally serious. We’re hiring producers anyway, and he’s one of the most creative guys in the business.”
