Well, at least they respond...

Much to my surprise, certain companies actually responded to my pleads for help in regard to Angel. Naturally, they said they could do nothing about it, but it was still somewhat encouraging to know they are paying attention, and maybe word will reach the WB. It definitely motivated me to keep trying.

If you received any different messages from the companies, that you felt were helpful or nice, please feel free to post them for other fans to see.

As for the next step, I'm going to start concentrating all my energy on the WB and UPN.

Dear Allison,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the cancellation of the television show "Angel."

The purchase of commercial airtime is a complicated process. As a matter of course, Target contracts with each television network to communicate our needs. Each network then provides us with a block of programming time. Whenever we purchase airtime, we do our best to reach a specific audience that most closely matches the Target customer profile in gender and age range.

The determination about whether or not to continue airing any television
program is that of the network. Target Corporation only takes positions on issues that affect our retail business agenda. While I understand your disappointment with the cancellation of this series, we arenot able to intervene in this matter.

We value you as our guest and thank you for shopping at Target.

Sincerely,

Peeyush

From: Dr. Pepper

Thank you for contacting us regarding our advertising placement on the WB network, which, until recently, aired the Angel television series.

We have received numerous inquires about the role Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. plays in a television network¿s decision to ¿pick up¿ or ¿drop¿ a series.

While Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. advertises on most of the major television networks, we do not have any influence with the networks when it comes to their programming.  Our company purchases blocks of media time from a network depending on the time of day we think our consumers will be watching that network.  Our 2004 advertising with the WB network has already been allocated based on that time of day frame.

We thank you for sharing your views with us and hope you will continue to enjoy our many soft drink brands, including Dr Pepper.

Sincerely,

Consumer Relations

That's true-it's good to know that they actually read these things...of course, the Old Navy one was just a form letter, though.
 
That is very encouraging. Perhaps if more people keep this up then something can actually be done to keep Angel around.
 
Good job here, Allison.
Every little bit helps.

Same as the hackneyed analogy about all the little ripples in a pond....the wave will be much too big for the networks to ignore.

Don't let up......ANY of you.

And if I were you Allison, I wouldn't concentrate so much time and energy on the WB....they've already made up their so-called "minds".
You should focus your efforts on UPN...or whatever other network you had in mind....where there is a much better chance of success.

Here, here! :: tu ::

And good point - I'll definitely focus more on UPN. I figure that's our best shot for Angel getting picked up.
 
Wow! That's great that they responded at all. It may not be the most promising thing ever, but it certainly is a start. Great job everyone with the letter sending campaign...
 
Wow, I am also surprised they responded. But that's good, it means they are actually seeing the interest in Angel. Any little bit can possibly help.
 
Very smart move Alyson. To contact advertisers and not the networks, perhaps you have e-mail adresses, so we could also contact them?

At RenewAngel.org, they have a list of people to contact, including the sponsors.

And just a little note: The forms to contact the sponsors only allow a certain number of letters/words/characters. So make sure your message gets straight to the point.
