Supporting Moonlight by getting our cast booked with media outlets

I know you have been contacting media outlets about our show and amazing cast. Please, keep it up! Here is a repost of the info... along with a few new entries.

When calling the network, we are being told that CBS will make a decision about Moonlight's future in mid-May. It is obvious that they are waiting to see what happens with the four new episodes that will begin airing on April 11th. This gives us plenty of time to fight to save our show! We will work together to get Moonlight renewed for a second season :)

Fortunately, we are blessed with such a charismatic, good humored and interesting cast. We just need to get them booked on the talk show circuit and profiled in magazines. Think about it.... Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring, Brian J White & Shannyn Sossamon chatting and laughing with Ellen or Conan or Jay or any host. New fans will not be able to resist! Plus, I guess us old Moonlight fans wouldn't mind seeing them on tv too much. *wink*

Let's write, call and email all of these media outlets to promote the new Moonlight episodes. Get those ratings even higher by capturing fresh viewers!

Day Time Talk Shows

I have said from the beginning that having the entire cast interviewed together would be amazing. They have such wonderful chemistry! Oprah often chats with the entire cast from television programs and movies. Another thing to keep in mind is most of her producers are women. If they are not already in love with Alex, Jason & Brian, they soon will be when we bring our boys to their attention! *grin*

This video ~ Behind the scenes on the set of Moonlight ~ is one I posted previously when our show first premiered. However, I felt it was appropriate to this post. I really like it because you get to see brief interviews with Alex, Jason and Sophia along with some behind the scenes footage.

What is Moonlight's upcoming schedule?

I have received many messages from readers asking for Moonlight's upcoming schedule. Unfortunately, tonight's episode ~ Arrested Development (#1x05 ~ will be the last rerun that CBS gives us for quite a long time. :( Next Friday (Feb 15th), the network is airing a Celine Dion special instead of our show. Then, for the following six weeks, The Price is Right gameshow will be on in primetime in Ghost Whisperer's time slot. That will bump GW down to Moonlight's time period. *growl* So, as I said before, we have to enjoy the show tonight even more! Thank goodness, all of Moonlight's marvelous episodes are available on YouTube. We can also watch great fan videos. Moonlight has the most creative fans! *cheer*

Let's use this down time constructively. Channel our disappointment into more fuel for supporting our show! The rumors are growing louder that the writer's strike will be ending soon. Along with that... there are also rumors that only older, established television programs will be chosen to produce a few episodes to finish this chopped up season. The tv gurus are saying that new shows will be held and re-launched this Fall instead. We can use this time to let CBS know that if/when the strike is resolved we want more Moonlight NOW!

You have been doing such a fab job of contacting CBS and media outlets to promote Moonlight :) Please, continue to do so. Show the network that they have serious and true fans on their hands.

Visit the official CBS website for Moonlight whenever you can. The network tracks the number of hits each show's page receives. Of course, we want to have the highest number of visitors.

Let's get Alex O'Loughlin booked on the daytime talk shows!

The lovely Susan has researched the names of the bookers for the most popular daytime talk shows. As she pointed out, all of our postcards and emails will have more impact if we address them directly to the person we need to bug. We have to get Alex O'Loughlin on these shows to reach even more viewers for Moonlight. Who can resist Alex?!? Thank you, Susan :)

Moonlight fan campaign to book Alex O'Loughlin on daytime talk shows

A dedicated Moonlight fan and blog reader sent me the following information. This is another great idea for supporting our show! Plus, we would all love to see more Alex interviews, right? :)

I’ve spoken to a friend who works for one of the networks. They suggested if we want to really support the show, and even better raise the viewer numbers, the best way to do it is to contact the top three talk shows to ask to have Alex on the show. We know that Alex is charismatic, funny and personable so the key is to get him on these chat shows to give the show exposure. We MUST get the show bookers to recognize that there’s an audience out there who want to see Alex and hear about the show.

If we do a write in campaign to Ellen, the View and Regis & Kelly we can potentially get him booked on these shows to raise awareness for Moonlight and Alex’s profile.

They book for these shows about a month in advance. If we start now, by the time everyone is back from the holidays, it might start to make an impact. Trust me this is going to be a successful way of raising the profile of the show and hopefully the numbers.

Here’s the email and mailing addresses for these shows.

Tips for making a mass number of post cards.

If you want to do postcards, I can tell you some simple ways of making loads at one time. You can make up 33 (on a page) address labels with the addresses for the production companies. Then you only need to fill in the backs of the postcards, saying:

"Please have on Alex O’Loughlin. We love Moonlight! Alex O’Loughlin would be a great guest! I am a regular viewer and would love to see him."

You can buy premade postcards at the post office that already have the postage on them if that helps save time. Also, keep in mind send them in a few handful of postcards everyday, not all at once.

If everyone could add this to their list of Moonlight things to do it would be REALLY beneficial.
