Operation Phoenix Update -- 2/20
Hello fellow Rangers
As we head into this weekend I just want to let everyone know that things are moving forward. The ARG game is going well with many participants over the web. NorsU and K6 have put together a great game that is doing exactly what we wanted it to do, create interest across the internet about Jericho.
Jericho's ratings were up again last week to 1,160,000 up for the second straight week post Super Bowl. We are making a dent. Jericho is averaging 1,113,750 in the ratings (non 7 Day DVR adjusted) which is better than Mad Men, Dexter and Weeds first run shows this past year. We need to look at Jericho and ratings in terms of pay channel, basic cable channel and not using CBS numbers as the standard. From Jon Turtletaub's statements it appears that CBS Paramount is looking at it this way as well. Thanks goes to Casey Dog and MyVibesmom for their continued hard work on digging up the ratings and putting together the stats.
The Welcome Home Jericho Event is schedule for April 24-26, 2009 in Los Angles. April Parker and Esai Morales are both scheduled to appear barring any last minute schedule conflicts. In conjunction with the event, the Jericho Rangers 4 Our Troops have put together a cookbook, all proceeds go to the Charity to help service people and their families.
Remember to watch Black Jack on youtube and get ready for episode 13 Blackjack this Sunday at 6:30EST on the CW. There is a Ranger Rally on the CW Board on Sunday night.
Monday February 23, 2009 8:00 am EST-Sci Fi presents Jericho mini Marathon of the first 8 episodes. Dean will be on the Sci Fi Board during and after the Marathon.
Remember to do you feedback forms, email with post card to epix, a letter or 2 to Nancy Tellem at CBS and Mark Greenberg at epix

Epix Update -- 2/20
Hello Fellow Rangers,
As you all know Artzy lady received an email from Epix that they are exploring putting Jericho on epix. We are targeting them right now before they fully launch in the Fall of 2009. Jericho is running with action adventure movies now on the CW and for next couple of weeks at 6:30pm. We already saw uptake in ratings and we hope to continue to see them.
We need everyone to send an email, a letter and card. K6 has made a great post card you can download at UHD (see attachment). superfan@epixhd.com is the epix email address. We need to be counted and a great and easy way is by sending an email with the post card attached it is a unique way to be counted and costs nothing
Also we need to get everyone who is on Facebook to become a fan of epix Facebook page. EpixHD link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Epix-HD/45104949301?ref=mf

Ratings Update for 2/20
I have been working with Casey Dog and Myvibesmom on putting together stats and graphs to make our business case and we are well on the way. As I have said we need to look at Jericho as being on cable. The CW is really a glorified TNT, USA or FX.
Jericho was canceled almost a year ago and the repeats shown to date all originally aired in the Fall. of 2006 yet Jericho has maintained an average rating of 1,113,750. That put is sixth in the shows form 2008 that we are measuring it against and ahead of Mad Men (Emmy Best Drama) and Dexter shown on CBS on Sundays in 2008.
Jericho is slated to run through June 14, 2009. The CBS Board still has Jericho listed and Hulu among others now directs you to CBS Board when you try to watch Jericho episodes. We are being measured and counted and the show is being looked at. In these bleak times with the bad economy, job losses etc, we all have real world issues and so Jericho is a nice little escape each week. We need to just continue to write, email and spread the word and be counted.
We need to Keep the Faith and Stay the Course
