Hi Everyone,

As some of you are already aware, my husband, Ranger Robert had a heart attack at the begining of the month. He had a triple by-pass operation and is recovering nicely. I've not been able to be on the Jericho boards as much this month, but I will be ramping up again after the New Year.

Jericho Restoration Update

At Comic Con 2011, IDW told us the Jericho announcement was postponed, but would be made at a future con. That statement was the one circulated. The actual statemenet from IDW is "A Jericho announcement would most likely by made at the next con."

The next con is WonderCon 2012. IDW has confirmed they will be at the con and asked if the Jericho Fan Table will be theere. I repllied yes and I was given a new contact.

Take a minute and let this all sink in. If the Fan Table is getting a new contact, then IDW is not done with Jericho!!!!

I also touched base with Dan Shotz this mnonth. Dan had nothing to report, but confirmed that when he gets news he will be in touch.

Please keep Jercho in your hearts and check in with the other rangers (in person or on-line) in the New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,


Gwen

About half way down the column:

Jericho Season 3: Civil War Graphic Novel Trade Paperback out July 20th: The first six issues of this awesome, awesome comic book, published by the fine folks at IDW Publishing, will be out in graphic novel trade paperback form this Wednesday. If you haven't been reading the book in its normal single issue format the graphic novel is a great way to check out what's been done and to get up to speed before the next regular issue hits comic book store shelves, which I imagine will be sooner rather than later.

With television having an impact on us every day, there are some interesting stories about how it can inspire us. The series “Jericho” is one example, and a Panama City woman is involved.

Nielsen this week will begin measuring the Internet usage of some members of its national TV ratings sample, and if the controversial test goes well, plans to make a decision this fall to expand the integration of TV and Internet measurement beyond the limited test sample to "build a foundation for the inclusion of online viewing in our television currency."

Editor: Will Harris compares Reaper to Jericho. His description of Jericho is "I'm reminded of “Jericho,” a show which started strong, got confused part of the way through its freshman season, but then finished stronger than it began and came back for Season 2 with a fucking vengeance."

TiVo is apparently moving farther into Nielsen territory. Specifically, it's launching local-market measurement this summer, which is itself uninteresting except to network affiliates, advertisers, and the hardest-core TV ratings geeks. But the bigger issue is that TiVo is continuing to creep into the ratings business, having already launched a national service in February 2007.

This past week, Rino Scanzoni, chief investment officer at GroupM, openly decried Nielsen’s national, sample-based TV measurement. Although Scanzoni has an inherent bias (GroupM’s parent WPP owns Nielsen competitor, Kantar, which has a set-top-box data-based TV measurement system of its own called RaPiDview), his words still speak volumes about the state of TV audience measurement and the need for a new system.

To reach those users, SAY unveiled a new targeting system dubbed, "Off The Grid," which serves ads to users who no longer watch live TV programming. SAY says it is partnering with Quantcast on the new targeting system..
