Why Fringe viewers are important to Fox!
This article has a quote from Preston Beckman, the Masked Scheduler of Fox Television, about why shows like FRINGE are important:
Shows like “Supernatural,” “Chuck,” and Fox’s “Fringe” might not be able to survive elsewhere. But they are a gift to TV executives on Friday nights, because they offer small but die-hard followings on a night when little is guaranteed.
“You’re not going to give Friday the weight you might give other nights on your schedule, so it’s always good if you use shows that have built-in audiences,” said Preston Beckman, Fox’s executive vice president of strategic program planning and research. “We’re not going to go dark, so you’ve got to put something on. Better to put on something that has a built-in audience.”
This means that, even though Fringe has a very small audience, you might still be considered an asset by TV executives. THE MORE YOU WATCH FRINGE… the better impression you make on Fox and Warner Bros… whose negotiations last season gave us Season 4.
Starting this Monday, December 26, you can show Fox and Warner Bros. in yet another way just how enthusiastic and dedicated you are! Join in FRINGE BINGE 2011 - the worldwide simultaneous marathon of all Fringe episodes in a row!
