DirecTV Shells Out for ‘Lights” Emmy Campaign

Jun 3, 2009  •  Post A Comment

DirecTV is helping NBC fund an Emmy campaign for the critically adored, but ratings challenged series “Friday Night Lights,” Variety reports.

If nominated, DirecTV, which helps produce the series in exchange for first run broadcast rights on its The 101 Network, could use the nominations to promote the series and attract new subscribers to its service.

The satellite broadcaster has picked up two more 13-episode seasons of the drama.

"I’ve talked to Ben (NBC Entertainment co-chair Ben Silverman), and we’re both going to support it," Eric Shanks, executive vice president of DirecTV, said. "An Emmy would be validation for us for being part of a show that so deserves it, but that’s not why we do it."

  1. W isconsin ?- We??? re much more than cheese and beer ?- we??? ve got fake woodgrain paneling, fiberglass drop ceilings, and bowling also!

  2. Count me as another particular person surpr ised that you just did notinclude pepsi on the ??worst??? l ist as well as acknowledge their redesign.Other unique comments. The brand new Pfizer logo looks sloppy and careless to me. The blue clearspace all-around the wordmark is uneven. I like the notion, however the execution is lousy. The old one particular is tighter.I do notunderstand what you like greater regarding the new Guitar Hero logo. The detrimental area in between the letters would make it nearly unattainable to go through for me.As for El Banco Deuno, I do notget it by any means. The line breaks appear absolutely jarring to me and remind me of a logo I did for my s ister is line of crafts when I was about 15 (it was the word pollywogs??? on two lines, that has a hyphen?- ugh).Lastly, I would appreciate to find out your l ist of Identities which can be in desperate need of a redesign. My #1 select will be Verizon.

  3. Can I just answer what a relief en route for come across a name who essentially understands what theyre talking about on top of the internet. You absolutely recognize how to carry an subject to glow and construct it significant. Additional people have to to study this and realize this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more popular since you certainly have the gift.
