Ranger Rally, Saturday November 22, 8 pm and 12 am E.T. at the UHD Forum

From K6FEJ:

Hi Rangers

A lot of exciting news and Jericho Buzz happening. I want to remind everyone that we have a Ranger Rally on the UHD board every Saturday to support the Live airing of Jericho on the Universal HD network.

This Saturday the episode is Fallout (1.02) and is one of my favorites. It airs at 8:00 pm and again at 12:00 am Eastern time.

If you don't have UHD you can use a DVD or watch on YouTube.

Even if you are not registered on the UHD board simply showing up as a guest counts as UHD is keeping a eye on the boards.

Let's support UHD and the airing of our Save Jericho Commercial!!

Save Jericho Again Ad on UHD

From Redsox1986:

What you have all been waiting for, the UHD TV Ad is finally going to air!

The run date was pushed back to December 1, 2008, which will launch the day after Jericho starts with Pilot on the CW.

I was able to secure 85 spots which will run in the time slot that Jericho runs in. Not all the spots will run during Jericho as we are trying to attract other viewers as well.

I was able to get ads on 7 days a week for 4 weeks through Christmas Weekend.

Thanks again to everyone who worked on this. Rubber Poultry, Nightshade and Welcome are to be congratulated for a job well done. Thanks to all the Rangers who helped get this done.

UHD 11/20 Brainstorming Session Highlights

From Jeanine123:

Here's what has been hammered out so far in the meeting last night.

Part 1: we need to continue to write to Bonnie Hammer, during the UHD TV ad run. And we need to keep a presence on the UHD Board.

Ms. Bonnie Hammer
President USA and Sci Fi Networks
NBC Universal Inc
30 Rockefeller Plaza,
New York, New York 10112
bonnie.hammer@nbcuni.com

Part 2: We need to mobilize every Ranger we can find and start to get the word out that Jericho is on CW at 7:00pm Eastern. We will be dealing with Football through January so we need to really get the word out.

This will include, flyers, bumper stickers, car and truck signs, posting to bulleting boards and places where people congregate. Jericho is back on CW network Sunday nights at 7:00pm.

We need someone to take control of the flyer/bumper sticker design and production

Part 3: Letters to Dawn at CW thanking her for putting Jericho back on the air.

Ms. Dawn Ostroff

Part 4: Watching Jericho each week live so we can get Nielsen numbers. We need to focus in on getting people in front of their sets each Sunday at 7:00pm.

Part 5: After watching each episode we need to send CW Feedback like never before. Also we light up the CW Board when it is in place.

Part 6: Letters and cards go to Comcast

I'm also going to suggest writing letters to the editor for all the papers we can think of, especially small, local ones. And once there is a Jericho board up on The CW's site we hold viewing parties there on Sunday nights while the episode airs, hopefully if we constantly spike the board numbers at that time it'll make folks notice.

(Editor: Please also review the CW/UHD campaign notes from redsox1986 farther down the list.)


The CW Lounge

From Rangerette at Jerichonet2:

Hey everyone I just wanted to let everyone know that we are trying to get CW to add us a forum at the CW. Until they do we need everyone to go to CW and register and go to this thread and introduce yourself let CW know you are there and tell them Thank You for airing our Jericho on Sunday nights.

http://lounge.cwtv.com/showthread.php?t=292372

By no means am I asking anyone to stop posting at JNet (Editor: or any of the other fan run Jericho boards). JNet is my home and I will be here till MM or DC throws me from the premises kicking and screaming. But we do need to make our presence known immediately at CW and strongly. So post everywhere that you can think of not just Jericho sites either. Let people know that Jericho is going to be airing on Sunday nights on the CW and ask them to post at CW Lounge and let them know just how STRONG and PROUD the JERICHO RANGERS are!!!!!!!!!!

When I get the link to the new forum when it goes up I will post it here!!!! Thanks Rangers now let's go and celebrate!!!!!!!!!!! The battle is partially won!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Editor: the Jericho forum at CW is supposed to be ready by the pilot's premiere on November 30th.)

Jericho is back in the media; let's get digging Rangers!
