about the cancellation of Heroes. Here's what he had to say:
"I want to first extend
my deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to the legion of
enthusiastic fans who have watched ‘Heroes’ on TV, online, DVR, DVD
and mobile over the last four seasons.
Every week more than
45 million TV viewers around the world, as well as millions of social
and digital media-based fans, have made ‘Heroes’ one of the five
most-watched shows across traditional and digital media screens in the
history of television.v
For NBC, I certainly
understand the challenge of creating a business model around a show
which arrived precisely as the audience was finding new ways to watch
traditional content on multiple screens.
I personally have had 12
great years with my friends at NBC, and with ‘Heroes,’ they provided
me a rare opportunity to put a message of hope, interconnectivity and
global consciousness into the world. For that I am grateful and look
forward to finalizing our discussion about a number of ways to keep
the ‘Heroes’ universe alive for its fans."
