Save jPod - "not just a TV fan base; it's a Coupland fan base"

[Tim Meehan]

Thanks to the CBC and moving it around, I watched most of this on
Bittorrent. One episode had to be viewed on the website.

Ratings don't take these into account, however.

"It's a fan base that is not just a TV fan base; it's a Coupland fan
base," said Kirstine Layfield, CBC-TV's executive director of network
programming, noting that she has received lots of mail pointing out
the show is particularly popular with online viewers who may not be
showing up in the ratings.

n the face of yet another soul-crushing decision by committee at a
television network, the Canadian show jPod has not been renewed. This
hip, funny and seriously clueful series based on Douglas Coupland’s
novel jPod hasn’t even finished broadcasting its first season.

http://savejpod.ca is an effort by a couple of geeky fans to try and
save the day and Just Say No To Steve, by organizaing, getting the
word out, setting up a petition and reporting on the lastest Save jPod
news.

If you haven’t seen the show yet, watch full episodes online at

Thank you for you support!

Will that be one lump, or two?

CBC is rebroadcasting the first season of jPod over the summer
(Thursdays 8pm, starting June 19). We believe that improved ratings
will convince CBC to save the show. Please tune in and spread the
word! For more information:
