It's official: UPN has announced that it will cancel its teen-alien series Roswell. The network will air the series finale at 9 p.m. ET/PT on May 14. "I would like to thank 20th Century Fox Television, UPN and especially our fans, whose combined efforts helped get us a third season for Roswell," series co-creator Jason Katims said in a statement. "[Executive producer] Ronald D. Moore and I had the fans very much on our minds when we were writing this final episode. We felt they deserved a great ending." Roswell's fate has been in doubt all season as the series' ratings have dropped against stiff competition from The WB's Superman series, Smallville. The show wrapped production on the current third season in March for more information head over to www.crashdown.com.

There has been talk for a while about everyone putting money together and putting an ad for roswell in newspapers or magazines.... is anyone interested in doing that? how much would you be willing to spend?
if so we need a representative from each state to suss out how much money we would need for what size adverts, and what publications they are....
i will find out some info for melbourne related puplications... and post the details here, when i find them out.

would anyone be interested in having a roswell-a-thon? it would involve advertising roswell to a wider audience and roswell lovers getting together in each state.... and watching roswell episodes together... does anyone think this could be a good idea..... ?

[glow=yellow,2,500]Top ten things you can do to get started with campagning![/glow] 1. PHONE Ch9 ...Ok this might not be practicable for everyone because you might be too far away and it would cost too much..so I also want to add WRITE Ch9.
2. Write to sponsors. Here is some of the sponsors I recorded last ep (I might be in a different state to you, but these might still help. I'm going to record sponsors every ep from now on):Amcal
3. Get as many ppl as possible to sign our petition so we can send it off! (I mean, Most people will sign if you ask, even if they aren't interested in the topic. I'm getting friends and family who don't even watch Roswell to sign lol).
4. THis would only apply if you knew a lot of people offline who would sign: Make up a petition echoing the online SaveROswellAUstralia one and get people to sign it.
5. Write to Magazine editors, entertainment writers about the problems with Channel Nine and/or requesting Roswell pics/info. Write into any magazine sections which prints letters of readers and request Roswell posters/info etc or tell everyone else about the cancellation dangers
6. Write to other TV channels, 7, 10, maybe even ABC(though I don't think they buy programs like ROswell, its still worht a try!). You could tell them why you think people aren't watching Roswell on channel nine etc..also, even if you don't mean it, please compliment their channel! lol.
7. Find ROswell sites online and write to the site owner's about getting our Roswell group and petition links posted. Here is the petition link(so you don't have to look it up in the bookmarks):http://www.petitiononline.com/savera/petition.html
8. This is kind of obvious, but spread the word to any other Roswell fans you know and encourage them to write/ring Ch9.
9. Make a save Roswell signature..you know...just Save Roswell...or Roswell forever etc so that everyone you write to sees it!
10. Try to con as many people as you can into watching atleast one ep! Ive heard that a few people have got a group of friends over who weren't fans, to watch Roswell and they have all ended up loving it!

i think you brought up some really good points about multiple campaigns.... which i really think we need.... but they all need to be very public... so people know what campaigns there are available.... as some people may want to do the lot..... and others may just want to 1 or 2..... either way its all good.... as long as we get them all going and SOON!
The flyers could be good...... and i just had a really sneaky idea..... in melbourne here..... in music stores, uni and certain clothing stores they have places for people to leave nightclub passes, catelogues e.t.c. i was thinking we could leave a whole heap of flyers in these places...... but also we could also insert them into some of the free music/entertainment papers! that way the reader would think it was meant to be there...... and they would get it without even realising it!
what does everyone think?

here are some ideas that have been discussed by members of the saveroswellaustralia yahoo group.....
some sort of ad because I heard about the ad the US fans took out to thank Shiri Appleby. maybe if we can all try to find out the costs of taking out advertisements in different medias e.g. magazines, newspapers, radio stations?? I've been thinking about the donation thing too. In the US they donated to the Children's charities because of A Roswell Christmas Carol. I don't know if every state has this, so it would be great if you could let me know, but in NSW there's the Bandage Bear charity which is for children and I thought it might be a kind of cool way to go if we were going to look at a charity because you know how the little bears you buy have bandages on their arms and all? And Max healed Liz in the Pilot, starting off the whole series...I don't know, any more ideas?? Another thing is writing to magazines such as Tv Hits, Star, Girlfriend, Dolly, Big Hit, Juice etc. They all have sections where you can write in and some have special request sections. A lot of peopl read these types of mags so they can reach awhole bunch of people at once. One thing they're doing in the US might be something too. They're all ringing up/going to the websites and requesting Dido's Here With Me for obvious reasons. And they're doing it at certain times. Maybe we could do that and say(if poss) that we're requesting it because its the theme song from our fave show (or something along those lines) The petition is still going online, but I've also attempted to get an offline petition going. I could get that petition to anyone interested and maybe we could all see if we can get people to sign liek other fans and friends, family members etc. Most people will sign [etitions like that, whether they know what they're about or not. They can also be left at places such as youth centres and shoppping centre notice boards etc to get signed and picked up later. I think that's a good idea. There's places around here that a lot of people go where I can leave a petition. It wouldn't hurt to try, and if even one person signs it, than that's a plus. There's always school/work etc too. Along the same lines, I thought I mgiht make up a little flier about the group, and if anyone can help maybe they can be left in similar places to petitions and then people can take one if they like. We need people to join the group and help with all this stuff. And maybe people might like to design little fliers for Roswell to leave around. Its jsut that sometimes its best just to leave things for people to find instead of like, ramming things down their throats if you know what I mean! And we need HEAPS of people to discover Roswell exists!!
