In a story in Monday's New York Times by Brian Stelter who also runs the TVDecoder blog, it is suggested that CBS Paramount Television is in discussions with Comcast to save Jericho in a similar fashion as Friday Night Lights was saved by the DirecTV deal.
NBC liked DirecTV versus sticking it on a cable network because it felt that doing so would cannibalize 90% of the viewers who'd watch on NBC. DirecTV with less than 17 million subscribers is available to only about 15% of NBC viewers. As of Q4 2007, I believe Comcast was claiming more than 24 million subscribers between its basic and digital cable services, more subscribers than DirecTV, but not so many more that it should raise red flags around cannibalization.
I'm not sure CBS' broadcast networks will budge on airing Jerich again, even if it gets a subsidization deal. Still it has to be good news for Jericho fans that such discussions are even being considered.
This is AWESOME news. I know that CBS/Paramount has been in talks w/ several potential homes for this high-quality, thought-provoking program. I only hope that all their efforts, and all the efforts of the millions of Jericho fans, will not be in vain. Thanks for bringing this to light for us. And thank you, CBS/Paramount, for your continued efforts on Jericho’s behalf!

What the article actually said was that CBS/Paramount “has had” talks with Comcast. This infers that they did talk, but are not talking now. Can anyone confirm that? Is it a “No Go”?? Or are the still talking?

Thanks for sharing this good news! It’s encouraging that the discussions are happening (thank you, CBS Paramount!). Whether the broadcast part of the deal is with CBS or another network, a third season of Jericho would be more than welcome!

WOW! Fantastic news. I was getting ready to start a private fundraising drive to save Jericho. If 30% of the loyal viewership donated $1 per episode we could raise 40-50 million and produce it ourselves, then offer to a network free of charge untill it becomes viable on it’s own. Anything for a third season!!

I’ve also thought this program could actually be produced by the fans, I would GLADLY pay $22 to see another season of Jericho! And I would probably buy the DVD of the season like I did the first and will the second season. If someone could co ordinate something like this we could indeed make history again! I also love what the fans of Moonlight are doing, donating blood for the red cross! There is so much good cross tying promotions that could be done with these shows! PLEASE bring Jericho back! You already have a guaranteed 6 million fan base!
