#RenewRevolution Campaign Urgent Details ****URGENT NEWS ABOUT TRYING TO RENEW REVOLUTION-PLEASE READ*************** I just got off the phone with NBC Universal in CA about getting a straight answer about how ratings are calculated, after getting that info that I will share, the conversation turned into how to Save Revolution for a third season. There’s good news and bad news: Maybe drink a shot or a glass of wine before reading but don’t stop reading until the very end because she did share a method we could use to save our show that she is personally aware of has worked in the past with other shows at NBC. Bad news first from the Sales dept at NBC: 1.)Ad revenue ratings pricing are only determined via Nielsen households. Nielsen boxes have 3 days to watch the latest episode from broadcast date to be counted. If we are not a Nielsen family there is nothing we can do to effect this ratings count. She said emphatically that DVR box numbers do not count even though some tv critics count them. *I repeat DVR box numbers do not count. *Live viewing by non-Nielsen households do not count. 2.) Digital viewership- These viewing counts do not get used to determine Ad Pricing Revenue Ratings either BUT she researched and found out for sure that viewing counts thru NBC.COM are presented in the Adverstiser’s packages. So they are made aware of it but it’s not used in the formula for Ad Pricing. I asked further about digital views and she said that the counts for nbc episodes are tallied from all views. It doesn’t have to be the current episode. Every episode is COUNTED BUT she said don’t hold your breath if this is your lifeline for saving the show. I still think everyday just starting a Revolution episode and letting one after another run in the background or when your not even at the computer would help. ***Now for the Good News************** She is a FAN of Revolution too. I promised I would not give out her name but she DVR’s it and watches it every week. She doesn’t want it to go away either and had some steps we could take to help (fingers crossed) get it renewed. She has personally at NBC seen shows on the chopping block that were saved because of LETTERS, LETERS, EMAILS AND MORE EMAILS if sent to the right people. She said to send snail mail to the following 2 people. If you can only do one do this guy Matt Bond, Exec. Vice President of Content Distribution NBC Studios 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10112 * She said to ask or beg or plead or tell the reason(s) why we can’t live without Revolution BUT to NEVER BE THREATENING, ABUSIVE, OR RUDE. She said just one of these letters can wipe out the positive message of support to renew Revolution from the letter writing Campaign. ***Updated*** *Also sending or shipping Walnuts to him is an option also. I checked with @usps and you can ship them. She said it should be the same for all carriers. I know Jericho fans sent boxes of peanuts to CBS and that worked. I will find an article and Post later. Second person to send snail mail to but lower on the totem pole is Robert Greenblatt ATTN: Revolution 100 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91608 *Again don’t be rude, abusive, or threatening. ****Updated email for Robert is robert.greenblatt@nbcuni******** *Now to Emails She thinks that sending lots of emails showing support for the renewal of will be very effective. She said there does not need to be a limit to how many per day or per person they just need to be polite, but persuasive emails we send each day(She said no exec will be unhappy receiving emails saying how beloved one of their shows is) Email Addresses: matt.bond@nbcuni robert.greenblatt@nbcuni *Once again she says that she has seen at NBC in the past the letter writing and emailing campaign work to save a show but it has to be sent to the right person or people. Matt Bond is the most important person I have listed. ***Call to Action*** We need to email nicely many times a day. Maybe create a couple versions of an email and save them as boilerplate to email throughout the day. If you are so inclined we each might want to create multiple email addresses to send RenewRevoluion emails from and send them to both Matt Bond and Roger Greenblatt but make sure at least Matt is sent or cc: on all emails. Snail Mail If you can afford it send Matt letters about how much we love and need Revoluton in our lives. Maybe promise to watch the NBC show preceding or following Revolution. I wanted to write and post this while it is all still fresh in my mind. I will type and format it and post it to Tumblr tonight. Would it be possible if everyone could either let me know how many emails or snail mails they are going to send each day or have sent each day so that we can track and post an estimate of how much support for Revolution is being sent via email, via snail mail. Also, if anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. Jamie #Revolution#Charloe#RenewRevolution#Bass Monroe#Miles Matheson#RevolutionS3
