Posting of Your Letters and Emails
I know that some of the members might not feel comfortable in posting copies of their correspondence that they are sending out to the Independent Affiliates or the other principals involved in the ill conceived and pre-determined cancellation of Dark Angel, if you feel confident in sending your correspondence to the either the affiliates, Newscorp or Fox then you should not be hesitant about posting your correspondence. It is definitely most important and helpful that you share your efforts with the other members, for a couple of reasons, one is that it encourages the other members not only to share their correspondence, but it also encourages the members to become involved in the campaign, secondly the more correspondence that is posted, the more resources or ideas that the other members can draw upon and utilize in their correspondence.
If you are committed to obtaining a conclusion and closure to Dark Angel in some form whether it be a 3rd season, mini series or TV movies to deal with the many storylines that were left dangling at the conclusion of the episode Freak Nation, then this is the campaign to participate in, the Independent Affiliates are either privately owned or publicly traded corporations who are in business to accomplish one thing and that is profit for their owners or shareholders, to achieve that they have to sell advertising on the programming that they show. When the Fox Network took the series Dark Angel that attracted a total seasonal viewing audience of 229.6 million in the 2000-2001 in a ideally demographic time slot, and moved that series to a time slot that was clearly a demographic graveyard which consquently resulted in the loss of 88.62 millions of its’ viewing audience in the 2001-2002 season, that action certainly affects the advertisers of the affiliates, and their ability to sell their products or services to their consumers.
The Fox Network has two areas of vulnerability, the first is their relationship with their Independent Affiliates, and the second is their relationship with their direct advertisers, if we can undermine those relationships and make our feelings about the cancellation abundantly clear to those two entities, then we can accomplish our objective and that is to exert and maintain the pressure on the Fox Network.
