As you all know, CBS was short-sighted and did not renew Eleventh Hour. As fans, we decided to continue on with our Campaign by appealing to other networks as well as cable channels to pick it up. We can be pessimistic and wonder what the odds are for this to work. But I know that the odds are zero if we do not try. And I know from working with many of you before that we are all people who do whatever we can for something we believe in.
Please note that we have added a thread called "Contact Calendar" which can be found above the "Forum Rules" under the Announcements, and is visible from any forum you are in. Before sending your emails/letters for the day, please coordinate your efforts with the rest of the group and check the thread to see what network to send to according to the date.
Since it is impossible to know which network is more likely to pick Eleventh Hour up over another, we will attempt to contact as many as possible. Is it ambitious? Yes. Is this show worth it? Yes!
Suggestion: It is a good idea to compose a thoughtful letter ahead of time which you can then modify slightly with each network. When I say modify, I mean personalize it to the network in question in order to illustrate why EH would make a good fit in their schedule. Try and make your appeal sound attractive to them as best as you can. I have a template set up for each one, and my last paragraph is unique to each network. For example, with TNT, I used their tagline "We know drama" to appeal to them why EH is a good fit for them. That kind of thing. But, ultimately, just do the best that you can! Anything you can do will make an impact.
Also, when you can find some extra time, try and read through this entire thread. It will give you an idea about what we have been doing, where we are going, and why we are all so passionate about this show and want it to continue.
Finally, I will be posting any updates for the Campaign in the "Contact Calendar"thread. Please do not post anything in that thread. Instead, please use this thread to discuss the Campaign, ask questions, post ideas, etc.
If you need help with any of this, please feel free to PM me or post any questions in this thread.
Let's get to work!
