Saturday Night Live Petition

This is a petition to show there’s a fanbase for Saturday Night Live in the UK and with a view to get the show back on UK television on Freeview, cable or satellite. Saturday Night Live has been aired on UK television in the past but channels seem to shunt it around the schedules every week. It recently aired on ITV4, but has also appeared on Paramount Comedy in the past. Especially following the US Elections in 2008, the show gained a huge following in America and continues to do so. Saturday Night Live would be hugly popular in the UK as well, if it was shown on a channel at a reasonable time (ITV4 used to air it at ridiculously late times at night / the early hours of the morning), which was the main reason why no one was watching it – it was on too late. Please click here to sign the petition.

Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson Petition

This is a petition created to show there’s a fanbase for the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson in the UK. We would like to raise awareness that people living in the UK would love to see this programme via cable, Sky or Freeview. We are calling on television broadcasters to consider airing the show on their channels. Please click here to sign the petition.

CNBC Europe (Leno & Conan) Petition (2005)

We ran a petition back in 2005 for CNBC Europe to air The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With Conan O’Brien five nights a week, instead of just at weekends. Our petition was a huge success, resulting in CNBC agreeing to air the shows Monday-Friday from 10pm and also keeping the Saturday and Sunday “pick of the week” repeats from 8pm. We also gained publicity on media news website Digital Spy.
