As many of you know, in my former life I was a story editor at America's Next Top Model. If you're not already aware of it, the story department has gone on strike (find out more here from my friend Dan.)

Dan just sent out the following email:

"On Thursday, June 27 (that's now today), we are going to flood the president of the network -- Dawn Ostroff, formerly the head of UPN -- with calls asking why this strike is still going on. Unlike other "Save This Show" campaigns, this one is VERY MUCH on the network's radar, and they are running scared from the power of twelve very nice people with a few simple requests.

So tomorrow between 9 and 7 Pacific Time, pick up your phone and do
the following:

1) Dial the switchboard number for The CW at 310-575-7000.

2) Ask for Dawn Ostroff's's office.

3) When an assistant answers, state your name (or make one up, if
you're so inclined) and say something like the following: "Hi. I am a
fan of the show America's Next Top Model, and I am worried that the
current writer's strike will jeopardize the show's quality and even
its ability to make it on the air this fall. Can I leave word for Ms.
Ostroff making my concern very clear?"

4) If you get stonewalled and sent to a general voicemail box about
the show, LEAVE A MESSAGE.

Networks have cancelled entire shows after three calls from religious organizations, so I see no reason why hundreds of calls from concerned fans shouldn't help twelve people get a little health coverage."

If you've got a minute please consider giving the network a call on their behalf.
