Season 2: Jericho

CBS Promotes Jericho

CBS and Social Media

"While we’re unleashing our lawyers on social networks with slips of paper with big words like “copyright infringement”, we’re also taking in huge new audiences on air and online — social media is actually helping our bottom line. How much? In one major broadcaster’s case, an additional 200,000 viewers in just one month. That company even let their growth secret out of the bag, “YouTube has brought a significant new audience of viewers to each broadcast.” Naughty CBS! They shouldn’t go running their mouths like that.

CBS isn’t the only one seeing growth by engaging in social media.

Couple growing social network interaction with the statistic that almost 70% of internet users watch TV while online and you’ve got a multiple platform experience, where you’re hitting your audience with your message from more than one place. Increased exposure is a great thing in the TV business.

Look up your favourite show in Facebook. Even if it’s a small show, or a canceled show, I bet it has its own fan group, or two, or three! Fans have taken marketing & brand ownership on themselves and are promoting our shows for us. Because they’re doing this through social networks, their friends and friends of friends all see this activity. Increased buzz and exposure (especially from your trusted social networking “friends”) means more brand engagement and often more people watching your show."

Fall Is In The Air

"Nets Take Promos Beyond Their Air"


"New this fall season: Broadcast networks will rely on social networks, guerrilla events, video-on-demand, YouTube, Web portals and mobile technology more than ever before to promote their new lineups to increasingly distracted consumers. What's not so new is the continued reliance on their own airwaves to do most of the work."

Jericho,Taxes, and DVR's

Poor Les Moonves: I know now why Jericho's budget was cut.

Les, we would like to help you by offering you several opportunities to lessen your tax burden. How much would you like to contribute to DVD's for the Troops? How about some of your cuff links to auction off to buy prizes for the contests Rangers have come up with to help promote Jericho? You'd be amazed at all the ways we can tell you how to contribute.
Put those state and local taxes you don't pay into something worthwhile.

Moonves Likes DVR's?
"CBS's CEO Les Moonves jumped on the "we love DVRs" bandwagon, making the usual network argument: DVR owners watch more TV content than non-DVR owners."
What happened to watching "live TV only?"


Jericho starts in January??


Beautiful video from xrammy for GaTravelGal


I have enough subscribers to start my newsletter but I'd like suggestions on what you'd like to see. Now I don't know yet how to add pictures and I'm learning about HTML so nothing fancy please. I don't want it to be just a recap of my blogs although I would use a few things.
I'd like to get fan submissions like fan fiction or short articles-anything original.
Ideas? Suggestions? I'd like to mail out about Sept.1.
