To the Admins:
I did a search before posting this info and found nothing, but if it IS posted somewhere already, please delete this thread.

I saw this site this morning, and thought it might be useful:

SavingAngel.org
 
I will just add a word of caution in general to make sure that you check out anywhere you're going to send money on the net to be sure its legit. Better safe than sorry 🙂
 
Oooh...I want to print up those postcards SO BAD! But I don't think our printer will take it...I will find a way! Thank you for the link my friend! 😉
 
Savingangel--->$15,024.31!

Update on www.savingangel.com Campaign Status


Total funds raised as of
March 1, 2004, at 00:15 GMT:
$15,024.31!​

First Goal: Place ad in the The Hollywood Reporter
Cost: Approximately $3,250 for a full page black and white ad.
Status: We have raised 100% toward this goal!

Second Goal: Place ad in Variety
Cost: Approximately $3,250 for a full page black and white ad.
Status: We have raised 100% toward this goal!

Third Goal: 2 week Guerrilla Billboards campaign
Cost: $9,000 for 2 weeks
Status: We have raised $7,024.31 toward this goal!

Not only did we meet our first two goals by raising funds for ads in The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, we've been offered assistance in getting a deeper discount with Variety than we could get on our own. Our original estimate was $7,000 for both ads, and we now hope to spend less, but until all arrangements are finalized, we're holding a full $8,000 aside for the ads. Final figures and ad publication dates will be posted as soon as we sign off on each deal
 
Maybe the WB will see us achieving so much in such a short amount of time and pick up the show. It's a good thought. I hope we all keep up the good work.

Hmm,I really doubt it,..I hope TNT will considerate picking the show
 
The current campaign goals are already met!


By SavingAngel.org:

Because our goals have been met, we are asking that no further donations be made AT THIS TIME. The draft of our billboard ad can be found on SavingAngel.org. This should keep fan devotion visible to the media, the networks, and the advertisers, at least through March 26.

As things stand now, word about the fate of the show--whether it will be picked up by another network, or whether ME is going to end its efforts to shop the show around--could come any day.

The print ads will go into the trade papers, regardless, as a public declaration of our love and support for the show. If the billboards will serve no further purpose, and if we have not entered into a legally binding agreement requiring us to pay for them whether we run the ads or not, the funds targeted for that purpose will be donated to our specified charity, ICRC.

If the show is still being shopped and there's still a point to keeping up the public pressure, we have other campaigns planned and will come back to you asking for your continued financial support.
 
Got another update.

Saving Angel Postcard Campaign (updated March 3, 2004)
UPN has decided to take a pass on picking up ANGEL, but we're not down and out yet!

The coming weeks are CRITICAL. We need to be heard in a big way. We need to send a strong message via a flood of post cards.

While UPN may be out of the picture, Tribune Broadcasting Company (to whom we've been sending cards for the past few days) have actually solicited fans to protest via postcards, as they feel ANGEL is a valuable show with a strong fan base.

This is our new game plan:

While continuing to flood Tribune with our support, as per their request, we've also decided to think big and hit The WB where it hurts the most:

The Big Bosses, AKA The Big Shareholders.

Time Warner, Inc. holds 66% of the stock of The WB, and so we picked our new target for a post card avalanche from among the Time Warner brass.

These are our current targets:

Time Warner, Inc
Jeffrey L. Bewkes
Chairman, Entertainment and Networks
Time Warner, Inc.
75 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10019
USA


Tribune Broadcasting Company
Patrick J. Mullen, President
Tribune Broadcasting Company
Ste. 1800, 435 N. Michigan Ave.
Chicago, Illinois 60611
USA


We chose Mr. Bewkes because his position is higher than Jordan Levin's (head of The WB) in the corporation, so he has power over Levin, and because he is part of the upper corporate structure, working in the division where the stock is held. Any way you slice it, having Mr. Bewkes aware of our efforts and commitment to save ANGEL, is a great thing.

As stated above, we also chose to continue to hit Mr. Mullin, the president of Tribune Broadcasting Company, to provide Tribune with the fan support they asked for, if and when they decide to voice their dissatisfaction with the loss of ANGEL. Tribune Broadcasting Company holds a 22% stake in the WB Network making it second largest shareholder, behind Time Warner's 66% share and ahead of the 11% held by WB network executives.

Send as many cards as possible to both targets!

Let's get cracking and get our show back!
