You do have power. The NBA did the same thing to WGN last year. They took away WGN's ability to broadcast Chicago Bulls games outside Chicago. Fans protested, and while those of us outside Chicago don't get all of the games, we do get some. (Which is better than the "none" the NBA wanted.) So the big corporate types do listen to the little people. Letter writing campaigns do work. A little show called Star Trek was cancelled back in 1967. And a letter writing campaign took place. Over 30 years later, Star Trek is still going strong, so I would call that letter wring campaign a success.

If this is going to happen, I bet he's >already searching for a different network. Just my $.02 Is Scott Woodward from WB still on this list? First of all - I seriously doubt Joss is going to leave The WB, even if they are forcing WGN to not uplink WB feeds to the satellite subscribers. When he first sold Buffy to WB, he said he did it because he liked the "independentness" of WB, as opposed to the monopolistic Big Four and rinky-dink Unwanted Powerless Network (UPN). That leaves one other option - - UPN, which is carried even less than WB. Maybe Buffy could make it in syndication (similar to Hercules, Xena, ST:DS9, Seinfeld reruns, etc.), but I wouldn't count on it happening. Before everyone starts calling for the heads of Wicked Ghastly Network's bigwigs, read this. (I'm real vague on the laws/regulations about local stations and their satellite uplinks, but here goes:) Back in 1983 or so when WOR-New York wanted set up a satellite uplink, they were unable to sell to subscribers or even have it "in the clear" because of copyright restrictions and etc. on some of the programming they aired (sports, I think). Around 1986 WOR "handed off" the uplinking problems to an outside company (which partially removed some of the restrictions), which set up a "station on a station" - in theory, replaced the programming that could NOT be shown over the satellite with movies and other things. Now, the programming provider (WB in our little dillema) has the right to deny a superstation the ability to transmit network-provided programming over any uplinks; i.e. to limit a station's transmission of network programming to their over-the-air viewing area. The reasons for this are simple. WGN *is* carried on many of the cable systems in this country where WB affiliates exist. The best I can guess is that The WB is under pressure from its affiliates to knock out WGN's hold of these markets. I mean, it makes sense - most WB affiliates are NOT the #1 or #2 in their markets, and having to compete with the entire cable nemesis, plus a mammoth like WGN who's airing your EXACT SAME programming, only adds kerosene to the fire. Now, to make it "nice" for everyone, WGN could just have cable systems in the areas where there *ARE* WB affiliates put a blackout on WB programming, which would allow non-affiliated sections of the country able to watch Buffy (and other WB programming) on WGN, just as they have been able to since the beginning. But, why would corporate bigwigs play nice? |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Kj | kasey@eldar.org | http://eldar.org/~kasey/ | |---------------------------------------------------------------| - - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 15 Mar 1998 13:44:35 -0600 From: deathsfury@juno.com Subject: Re: BUFFY: LTM Missing Lines I noticed this also.

WGN actually shows The WB's programming *before* the local affiliates do. Even though watching Buffy at 5pm on the West Coast might not be for everyone, it can't help the local stations' ratings that this option is at least available for the viewers. So I can certainly see why affiliates would be upset. I can also see why The WB might want to stop WGN from broadcasting their programs nationally as well. The loss of market coverage associated with WGN no longer showing WB stuff in parts of the country might be short-lived or never actually materialize. Why? Blacking out WGN would help The WB sign up affiliates in some of the markets that are now covered only by WGN. If I were a small independent station somewhere (or a UPN station thinking of switching), why would I want to carry WB programming when I know that it's already available to all cable subscribers from a superstation? Cutting off WB programming to that superstation might attract me rather quickly to The WB stable, suddenly making WB programming available to everyone in that market, not just cable subscribers. So who knows, even more people might eventually wind up being able to see Buffy. Of course there might be a transition period that's Buffy-less for some but hey, I'm an economist and we tend to ignore all those painful transition-type issues. Anyway, having even more affiliates would look good for The WB in its battle for survival with UPN.

Unless they've got some sort of next-hour guaranteed Slayer delivery service, Giles, Xander, Willow, Cordelia, and probably most of the Sunnydale population will die. Sure, they may be able to take out a few vampires, but unless Xander goes and "borrows" an entire armed division from the local army base, they will die. It seems that a good portion of the vamps who live in Sunnydale know who the Slayer and her friends are, and after taking care of Buffy, the others won't last long. Just my two cents.

How come EVERY single Buffy-fic before Ms. Calendar revealed her name to be Jenny refers to her as Nikki? I understand that it would be necessary to give her a name if they didn't know her real one.....but how is it possible that every single writer came up with the EXACT same name? (not nicole...not nicky...) Is this something from an old episode I'm not recalling? Or did every writer get together to come to sort of an agreement?

(Although I just did a quick search) While I agree that Tribune is a very influential company in the media industry, they did have to bow to the NBA's pressure regarding Bull's games. In my original post, perhaps the implication that the WB would force WGN to take this potential action was a bit strong. It would probably be safer to say that if WGN stops broadcasting WB programming on a national level, this action will have taken place at the WB's request as opposed to WGN initiating it. And most likely the WB is negotiating with other stations around the country all of the time, so perhaps very few people will actually be effected if and when WGN stops sending out the WB feed to the rest of North America.

The problem was that there were tons of affiliates that decided not to show the spin off and a lot of fans got POed. It started a HUGE letter writing campagin. Even people who were getting the show were writing letters to the affiliates and to ABC demanding that something be done. Now many of those affiliates are airing the show, anyway, I just wanted to point out that letter writing does help, but make sure that you write to everyone that you want to hear your grievences. Write to WGN and WB telling them that not everyone has a WB affiliate, and that by removing Buffy from WGN they will be losing a lot of viewers. Also I think that it would help if even people who don't rely on WGN write, hey, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the annoying letter writers may get their show. :-)) Just trying to help.

Part of the article compares it to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and My So-Called Life. I have included that portion below. - -------------- "Dawson's Creek" is about supposedly "realistic" kids, but it's completely unbelievable, whereas "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," its lead-in on Tuesdays, is about teens who fight vampires and monsters and stuff, but, emotionally, everything about it rings absolutely true.=20 Take the climactic two-part episode earlier this season where Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), the feisty, intuitive 17-year-old who has been pre-destined to save the world from evil, lost her virginity to a boy she thought she knew well (the centuries-old vampire-with-a-cause, Angel) and then he turned on her, mocking her and breaking her heart. It was the saddest TV moment since Angela overheard Jordan referring to her as "nobody," just some girl, after they'd skipped class all week to make out in the boiler room. Yes, "Buffy" is filled with dark satire and creature feature refugees, but the characters are more recognizably human than anybody on "Dawson." I'll take "Buffy's" metaphor for adolescent-boy horniness -- geeky pal Xander is possessed by a hyena -- over the coy masturbation talk of "Dawson's Creek" (Dawson calls it "walking the dog" and he does it in the morning while watching Katie Couric).=20 Where "MSCL" transcended the clich=E9s of teen drama and "Buffy" subverts them, "Dawson's Creek" recycles them. - -------------- David Simpson mailto:simpsond@utah-inter.net Buffy: Look...

We all knew that Xander and Willow had been best friends for almost their entire lives, and that he would do pretty much anything for her. Add to this the fact that Buffy was being completely ignorant of anyone's feelings or thoughts but her own, and you can see where Xander's anger is justifiable. For those of you who taped the episode, if you watch the dance between Xander and Buffy, you can pinpoint the exact moment where his heart breaks. Having people toy with your emotions like that is not fun. And just to give an example of the fact that Xander wasn't completely gutless, remember Prophecy Girl when Xander threatened Angel with a cross. I think we can all agree this is not exactly the smartest thing he's done, because Angel could tear him apart, but it did show to what lengths he would go to to save his friends.

In fact, SMG has said that they knew each other from her days on AMC. - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 09:34:58 -0500 From: Jason Hodgson Subject: BUFFY: Charisma as Buffy? Does anyone out there besides me think that CC could play a good Buffy. With everyone used to SMG I'm not putting SMG down because she is what originally got me watching the show but I think that Charisma could also play Buffy well. What about SMG as Cordy?
