Are Netflix Looking To Save Jericho From Armageddon?

Jericho, the post-apocalyptic show that originally aired on CBS before being despatched to the nuclear wasteland, may be revived by online streaming company Netflix according to reports.

Is all new Jericho heading to Netflix?

Netflix who are making a habit of reviving dead shows, and are in the process of making new episodes of cult TV show Arrested Development, are said to be interested in reviving Jericho and are said to be talking to CBS about the possibility acording to TV Guide.

The show was a popular series that ran between 2006 to 2008, and told the story of a group of families in a rural town having to survive in a post apoocalyptic world after America was struck by nuclear bombs in 23 major cities.

Although it was a cult favorite, the ratings were not so great and suffered the same fate as Arrested Development. Although a six part comic book called, “Jericho Season 3: Civil War,” was issued, and a new comic book is due this summer to carry on with the fourth season storyline.

After the show was cancelled, fans of the show campaigned to get the show re-booted, with no luck. Netflix and CBS are declining to comment and it’s not known if the original cast would be returning.

Netflix have begun a strategy of both creating original content and reviving cancelled shows, so this news could be a goer. But before any Jericho fans get too excited, Netflix were rumored to be reviving Prehistoric Fox show, Terra Nova until they changed their minds.

Dish Say AMC Content Not Worth The Money Thanks To Netflix

Satellite TV provider, Dish Networks have recently revealed plans to drop the AMC channel line-up which has not been well received by subscribers. These kind of ‘negotiations’ do tend to occur when a contract is due for renewal, but this looks like it is more than just hot air.

The Walking Dead may be walking away from Dish

So why would Dish want to lose all the great content that AMC deliver such as top shows, The Walking Dead, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, and in the process risk alienating or even losing subscribers?

Well, the answer appears to be that Dish think that AMC’s content is not worth the high price they are demanding, especially as Netflix are streaming the same content on their low-cost streaming service, and making the content less attractive.

Speaking at an investor discussion, the chairman of Dish Network Charlie Ergen confirmed they cannot close the deal as AMC want more cash, and Dish don’t want to play ball. He said, “One of the things that programmers have done is they’ve devalued their programming content by making it available in multiple outlets.”

He has a point, AMC allow their content to be viewed on a number of content delivery platforms, and then demand more from Dish. Subscribers do not want a rise in subscription costs to watch the same content, Ergen continued, “Our customers are not really saying ‘we want to pay more money, they’re saying ‘we want more flexibility in our programming and we don’t want to pay more.”

It seems that AMC may be heading for a fall, after all, will any other network be willing to pay high prices for content that can be accessed in a number of other places?
