Do The
X-Files advertisers know what’s happening to the show?
So many have expressed
their concern for the future of The X-Files if Mulder’s exit is handled
badly, and if the partnership between he and Scully is treated as
badly as the latest press indicates it will be. From discussion on
the XF official site message boards, to discussions on various newsgroups,
to entries in the guestbook on this website and the Brazilian XF for
Mulder website, and through many personal emails sent to us because
of this site, its apparent a lot of people share our concerns. And
when you consider that the online community is only a part of the
total X-Files audience, it makes you wonder how many more X-Philes
there are out there who have the same thoughts.
From our own fears – which
are based on wanting a just and dignified exit for Mulder – to the
expression of ‘No Mulder, No X-Files’. From outcries against the dismissive
attitude of CC et al. in relation to the Mulder and Scully partnership,
to the anti-Doggett discussions… right up to those who are feeling
a touch of all the above. It’s pretty apparent that the audience for
The X-Files during season 8 – and most definitely for the proposed
season 9 – will be a lot less than it has been in previous years.
So we thought you might
like to let some of the advertisers know their $265,000 per 30 second
advertising spot may miss their audience.
If you’d like to contact
some of the advertisers, here’s a bit of information to help you.
