      A New Year for Jericho


      In 2014, CBS made some good decisions, which I think will benefit Jericho:

      1. CBS is partnering with Lionsgate on the POP channel. The POP channel, will focus on fans, fandom and popular arts. The original Jericho episodes will air on Pop in the near future.

      2. CBS started their own streaming service - CBS All Access.

      3. CBS is launching a retro digital channel, called Decades. It will focus on vintage TV and pop culture. This subchannel will be available over-the-air in many of the CBS local markets.

      4. CBS has given Netflix the international rights to their digital library.

      5. CBS Films has teamed with Lionsgate to distribute and market their wide release films.

      The first four items indicate that CBS has newly ventured into all the platforms that Jericho fans frequent (over-the-air, cable, on-line, and international). These new ventures are fandom friendly and would be a better fit for Jericho, then the CBS broadcast channel.

      As for #5, if the hinted about Jericho movie is green-lighted, then Lionsgate would be the ideal partner for CBS Films. Liongate has the experience with franchises (Twilight and Hunger Games) that CBS Films was lacking.

      I believe that 2015, will be a good year for Jericho.

      Pop (formerly TVGN) is a CBS cable/satellite network that is for fans, fandom and popular culture. Jericho, as a cult classic, is the type of show and audience that Pop wants.

      For Operation Pop, we will be e-mailing Pop and asking them to consider making new epiaodes of Jericho. E-mails go to Brad Schwartz, the President of Entertainment and Media: <<brad.schwartz@...>>
