ENT Project FALL PRESS RELEASE to advertise ENT

[MoulinRouge 0]

Garrett Hart, former president of Paramount television who was ENT's staunch ally and who pushed UPN to actually advertise it, was "reassigned" by Leslie Moonves of CBS now that CBS and UPN/Paramount TV have merged productions. It's the worst thing that could have happened for those who want ENT to have a future past season four......unless it draws 12 million viewers an episode on Fridays. Not even the X-Files drew that many on a consistent basis when it was at its most popular. The bottom line is that more reality television is on the way. Amish in the City has bigger priority.; So--the ENT project is at it again trying to publish a few articles and announcements like they did with the Hollywood Reporter twice last year--an act which may have caused Paramount to take notice and lower the license fee for this year because they were made aware of a devoted fanbase. Now that Manny Coto is in charge and ENT is actually being run day to day by someone who loved TOS and wants ENT to legitimately tie in to the classic series it seems a shame that ENT is being cut off at the knees like this when it shows so much promise. The following is what the ENT project is planning for this year. If UPN doesn't care--and it doesn't--perhaps Scifi, Spike, or some suit who schedules syndication packages will notice. I could only donate $20 since I made a huge donation to the Red Cross relief fund for the hurricane victims but every little bit helps. It's your choice, of course.

Fans of Star Trek: Enterprise Comprehensive Fall Project

 

Under the sponsorship of The Enterprise Project, the ever-increasing number of Enterprise fans are undertaking an ambitious campaign in support of the latest Star Trek series. Contributions from hundreds of individual Enterprise fans as well as over forty internet groups devoted to the show will be ear-marked to publish an ad in the Hollywood Reporter on the date of the series premiere, Friday, October 8, 2004. The full page ad, the group’s fifth in support of the show,

will welcome back the cast and crew of Enterprise, congratulate them on their fourth season premiere and extend the fans’ best wishes for what promises to be an auspicious and successful new season of shows.

 

Contributors may elect to have their names appear in the signature section of the Reporter ad at the following minimum rates:

Individual name - $30.00

Group name - $75.00

Group name plus link to group website on the special Enterprise promotion page at www.enterpriseproject.org/ - $200.00

 

The second goal of the campaign will extend fundraising to cover an affordable program of national advertising. In cooperation with campusclients.com, Enterprise Project will design and print 1000 attractive Enterprise promotional posters and distribute them to ten of the most populous university campuses that are well recognized for their science, technology and engineering programs. Posters will be concentrated in student unions, quads, dormitories and other areas of the campus where large numbers of students gather. In addition campusclients.com will provide a free click through link on their college newspaper site that will redirect viewers to a specially designed Enterprise promotional page on The Enterprise Project site. The fan groups plan to have this section of the project in place for the beginning of November sweeps.

 

Total cost for the combined arms of the project amounts to $6000.00. Deadline for contributions to the Hollywood Reporter ad is September 30, 2004. The Campus Poster project deadline will extend for two more weeks to October 14. Any funds collected in excess of the goals will be donated to The AIDS Service Center in Los Angeles. Art work, graphics and web design will be created by individual fans who will donate their talents and efforts to the project.
