Subject: JEBS - Jericho Update for March 19, 2016HTML Message Hi Everyone,
The Jericho article I was waiting for has come out and the interesting thing is that it came out the day after CBS' Investor Day. Moonves' speech is priceless and shows you where CBS is heading with their own streaming service:CBS is following Netflix's example and looking for viewing patterns to decide their programming. I do expect Jericho to be on their short list of original series. I hope we will get an announcement after Lennie James finishes S6 of The Walking Dead (S6 finale on April 3rd).Byron's Jericho article: <<http://kabooooom.com/2016/03/jericho-graphic-novel-post-cancellation/>>CBS' Investors Day article:<<http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/cbs-all-access-leslie-moonves-original-series-1201730649/>>Why has this taken so long? CBS was in negotiations with Netflix, for Jericho, in 2012-2013 and CBS pulled the plug. CBS probably had a do-not-compete clause and had to do a slow opening of their streaming service. They opened CBS All Access on 10/16/14. They announced a new Star Trek series on 11/2/15. They will begin aggressively advertising the service in Jan 2017 and will be adding one new series a quarter, starting with the new Star Trek. Their balance sheet shows that they expect to lose money until the streaming service gets enough subscribers.
Hopefully the Jericho fans will be among their new subscribers!_________________________________Both Skeet Ulrich (Jake) and Lennie James (Hawkins) are doing some convention appearances this spring and summer.
