Operation Phoenix Update

June 17, 2009

Hello Fellow Rangers:

The final Nielsen ratings for Sunday, June 14, 2009 was 1,900,000 (Congratulations Rangers!). We had set a goal to hit 2 million by June 14, 2009 and we just missed it. We have over 1,200,000 views on Youtube and we are now heading towards 36,000 posts on the UHD Board.

With Jericho's final airing on the CW behind us, we are looking to what is on the horizon for the next few months. Out front and Center is the Jericho Comic Book which is due to be launched in October 2009. Ratkeeper recently received responses from Devils Due that they are currently working on a date certain and will let us know. We will be working to lay out a promotion plan and will get it posted throughout the Fandom in the near future.

Breaking News from N2N2-Pat thanks for letting us know about this:
I Tweet Karim asking for news. His response:

Some exciting news to deliver regarding "jericho" comic book, but i can't deliver it yet. I know, I know..but it'll be good.

Another important development is that of an ARG that is playing out on Youtube with a UK tie in. Ratkeeper and I feel this most likely is tied to the movie by developing a larger global fan base via the ARG to prep for the release of the movie.

RadioFreeJericho is pleased to announce a special chat event June 23, 9pm E/6pm P.

ADVENTURES OF POWER is an epic comedy about a mine-worker named Power whose love of drums and lack of musical skill has turned him into the ridiculed "air drummer" of his small town. But when Power's union-leader father calls a strike at the mine, Power discovers an underground subculture of air-drummers who just might hold the key to changing the world. Power's journey across America brings him face-to-face with his town's greatest enemy, and allows him to discover the beat within his own heart. Written by Ari Gold




As with all RFJ chats featuring a special guest or guests, this chat will be moderated and registration is required to participate.




Special thanks to Mainemom22 for her efforts in organizing this event!
