I think it's more complicated than that but I'll definitely write to our two main TV networks and ask them about BATB Their end of the deal is more complicated because it deals with money, but the only way they'll even consider adding BATB to their lineup is if they think their viewers have interest in it. So if no stations in your area have picked up BATB, it doesn't hurt to ask them to do so and to encourage others to do so as well. our tv "landscape" is different from the US. we mostly only have channels that broadcast nationwide. there are 2 main networks with like 6 channels each. so it's not just important which network picks it up but also on which channel they put the show on - if a show does not perform well on one channel, they will switch it to another, less popular one. each channel has a target group it focuses on.

Interesting. Well, be sure to keep us updated on what kind of response you get when you message them about BATB. You may not hear anything back, but best case scenario, you get BATB on a good channel.

It's annoying because CW will be renewing TVD, SPN, and Arrow. Regardless of what you may hear elsewhere, these are pretty much guarantees. It's stupid not to count them as renewed in factoring in how many spots CW has for next year. Honestly, I think Arrow is stupid. I watched the first three episodes and got bored out of my mind. I don't understand all the buzz about it. The characters are weak, the script is confusing and the story is annoying. AND the main actor is not that hot. I'm a die hard fan of SPN, but I won't watch any other CW's show if they don't renew BatB.

Don't shoot me but I was/am kind of rooting for Cult. I find the idea behind it appealing. + Matt Davis XD

CW is now airing BATB commercials on the radio. My bandmate heard them all day yesterday and actually called me up to ask if she could come by and watch it with me because she wanted to know what the heck was happening on the show.
She had seen up to episode 9. We watched episode 10 (DVR) and then she watched the episode 11 (East Coast) with me before leaving. She pretty much told me Vincent was a complete moron and said she doesn't like nor does she trust Alex. haha
Anyway, while CW hasn't amped up their TV commercials for BATB it's good that the CW affiliates in Atlanta are buying radio time for the show. I asked her if she heard any TVD and she said, "No, all I heard was BATB and it made me want to watch."

im near the ATL so I will be listening for the commercials! Awesome! She said she was going back and forth between 98.9 & 97.1 and heard the commercial a few times. Not sure if you get those stations, but if you do, they are promoting BATB. I would think 94.1 would be airing them too as I know they have played CW commercials in the past for other CW shows. If CW is paying for radio time in ATL, they had to have hit Star 94 (94.1) and Q100 (99.7)

I haven't heard a BATB ad here in my area since probably episode 3 and I listen to the radio every morning on my way to work! Which a good 30 minute drive!
