Jericho, the CBS television series that was canceled because of low ratings, then revived following protests from fans, then canceled again because of low ratings, may be revived a second time, the New York Times reported today (Monday). The newspaper said that CBS may follow NBC's recent example with Friday Night Lights in which it sold the DirecTV satellite service the right to air the series before it goes on network TV. The Times said that CBS is considering a similar option in negotiations with cable provider Comcast. Meanwhile, although DirecTV executives have expressed confidence that the Friday Night Lights deal could drive new subscribers to their service, some analysts are expressing skepticism about its ability to do so and forecasting that the DirecTV episodes will wind up being pirated on the Internet.


I don't understand exactly what this is saying, but it SOUNDS good.

I will follow Jericho to whatever channel it comes on

At this point, any news of Jericho's demise should be considered exaggerated. Once a show proves that it can rise from the ashes based on fan support – it becomes a unique commodity in television. While Jericho's audience might not be CSI-sized – they are far from the regular casual viewers. They are dedicated, and they'll follow the series wherever it goes. Exploiting the value of such an audience is just good business – and it looks like others are starting to figure that out.
Possibly taking a page from the book used by Friday Night Lights, CBS Paramount is – allegedly – looking into a deal with cable provider Comcast. According to a report in the New York Times, discussions have already been underway involving a possible deal to revive Jericho. This certainly seems to go along with what Jericho producer Carol Barbee said, when she referred to such talks.

Comcast, which serves roughly 24 million subscribers, would likely get an exclusive window on broadcasting the series – though at the moment it's not sure where the show would end up following that window. In the cast of the Friday Night Lights deal, those episodes will ultimately air on NBC after the exclusive window with DirecTV. While the Comcast/Jericho deal is unofficial, and sounds far from certain – questions remain as to whether the series will continue in some form on CBS – or will there be more movement as the deal changes?

One thing is for sure, the show is interesting to many parties – and not just the fans. There is money to be made from this audience, who has proven itself extraordinarily loyal and supportive – and one thing the television business knows how to do is find the money. While Jericho fans will surely be following this news closely (as will we) – it'll also be interesting to watch if this sets a precedent for shows that develop an audience on network TV but cannot sustain network expectations.

If this were to happen how much of a time lag would there be between it airing on Comcast and then on CBS?

The reason that seems pretty unlikely now is because the principal actors have to be looking for, or possibly even IN, other jobs by now. The likes of Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James aren't going to be hanging around jobless for long.
