April 24, 2001 LETTER FROM THE WB NETWORK'S ENTERTAINMENT CO-PRESIDENTS ABOUT BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Dear Buffy Fans,
As you are probably aware, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be leaving The WB at the end of this summer after five seasons with our network. Of course we're disappointed that Buffy won't be part of our long-term future, but we couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished through years of nurturing and believing in the show, and of the achievements to date of the talented cast and crew. It took a lot of time, effort and energy to get this show on the air at a time when there was nothing else out there like it, and to make it a success even when others doubted. Knowing how much you care about the show, we negotiated strongly to keep it on The WB, but ultimately the price 20th Television wanted was too high for us to pay while continuing to bring you other quality programming six nights a week. You will definitely want to see what happens in Sunnydale as the current season draws to a close. With the same passion we brought to Buffy, we're also working on some amazing new programs for next season we think you'll be very excited about, and are looking forward to announcing those on TheWB.com in a few weeks. We'll keep Buffy.com going for as long as the show is still on The WB, and TheWB.com will continue to be your best source for what's happening on the network.
Want to tell us what you think? Write to us. And thanks for your loyal viewership. Everyone here works hard to earn it.
Best regards, Susanne Daniels Co-President, Entertainment susanne@talk.thewb.com Jordan Levin Co-President, Entertainment jordan@talk.thewb.com
