Wanted: Xena fans who are just into the show and nothing else
Wanted: A lonely fan in search of fellow Xena: Warrior Princess fans that aren't into all the sideshow stuff. You must be willing to sit down and have honest chats about the series and characters. Remember kids, labels are for soup cans. This fan could care less about who is sleeping with who and who is in love with who. Just watch the show for its action, its comedy, its historical inaccuracy, its writing and directing...

FAQ: About the Get "X" On Campaign
Is this a campaign to get a new series?
No, this campaign is geared toward getting the series back on TV in re-runs.
How is this different than the movie campaign?
We are not seeking a movie with this campaign. Our goal is get a network to re-run the series on TV. GXO (Get "X" On) feels that if the series is on TV, it can help get people interested in the campaign for the movie.
What channel are you targeting?
All will be revealed on March 1. Our focus is a singular network. If they're not interested, we'll move to another network.
How can I help?
You can help by sending in (using the postal service) a postcard that encourages the targeted network that we want them to pick up a Xena re-run syndication license. We want our message to be united and not a disjointed message of people begging. This campaign is aimed at being short, sweet and to the point. (No network wants to hear that if you air the series, it'll do great. Never assume the internet fandom equals that of who'll watch the series and vice versa.) We cannot control what our supporters do but we do ask that you show some consideration and integrity in this campaign. We want to appear as professional as possible. First impressions are everything and to do that we must conduct ourselves in a manner that is with honor and to the degree of which we would expect to be treated.
What channels are you going to be targeting?
We're looking all sorts of cable networks and small independent channels that are part of a network-type programming schedule (MyTV, is an example one such thing). We recognize that this may not be ideal for most because they may not get and/or receive these channels. However, the point is not make it so that one individual may get the series back in their hometown but rather get the series back on the air to bring in support for the fandom, the conventions, and even the movie campaign. Our focus is to tackle one channel at a time.

Get "X" On campaign channel to be revealed soon
Hey folks! Just an update to the campaign. I've selected our first target channel. It'll be revealed on March 1. The demographics for this network is on par with the the original demographics of the series. The network also airs hour-long syndicated shows which will help us "sell" the series to the network. More information and a history of the channel will be available March 1. In the meantime, bookmark http://xenaonline.net. This is our "campaign" website.

Get "X" On campaign update
Just a few updates and clarifications about this campaign. We're not to be confused with the Xena Movie Campaign initiative which wants a movie. We're all about getting the series back on TV.
The title of the campaign is titled Get "X" On, and the basic premise of the campaign is get the series back airing on TV in repeats. We're going for a new season, movie, whatever. Our goal is to get show back into the homes of millions of fans nationwide (United States). From there, our hope that if the network is friendly enough hopefully the Xena Movie Campaign folks can use the re-airing of the series for the campaign.
After all, exposure is the key. If the series isn't on TV anywhere in the United States, it'll be hard to market the prospects of the movie. They way that I see it, our campaigns are equally united in getting the thing that we love, XENA, back to life in some form. If all we get is a syndication deal on a some off-the-beaten-path network, then that's all we get. At least she'll be battling warlords and demons once again.
