Entertainment Television, KTLA-TV (the Los Angeles WB affiliate), Loadtv.com and Los Angeles radio station KYSR-FM are some of the outlets that covered the protest.

Jamie Kellner, The WB Television Network's Chief Executive Officer, and other WB executives have been flooded with thousands of e-mail pleas from "Felicity" fans, asking him to renew their favorite show for a third season.

The network's e-mail system became so clogged in fact that fans resorted to other tactics and have also sent in some audio tapes (a la Felicity's tapes to her friend Sally), postcards and placed phone calls to the network.

"Felicity" recently moved from Sunday nights to Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT and the ratings have improved dramatically. The series is produced by Imagine Television in association with Touchstone Television Productions LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.
