Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot Watched By 1.3 Million People, Thanks to Viral Video and Coincidence
I do think there's a Squatch in these woods... Special sneak preview of the new Animal Planet series Finding Bigfoot was a ratings success. According a blog on mnn.com, the Discovery Channel Network on Monday wrapped up "River Monsters" and "Finding Bigfoot" with ratings that helped push Animal Planet to third among all ad-supported cable networks in its timeslot.
The blog attributed the ratings success to the timing of the sneak preview and a viral video:
Back in February, I mentioned that AP was filming a new series based on the legendary ape - and it appears that their timing in terms of national interest was spot on. Whether by coincidence (or some clever viral marketing?) a purported video of Bigfoot was placed online last week, recorded with an iPhone by some hikers in Spokane, Washington.You can watch the viral video below, which will bring you back here if you click on the video's description link =)
In a little over a week, it's already racked up over 1.5M views on YouTube and countless media articles. The full six-part "Finding Bigfoot" series is set to premiere this Sunday - but the network by apparent sheer luck was genius in running a preview this past Monday. You can't plan better publicity than an actual sighting - which may be all the more reason in today's hyper-media-connected world to be cynical of a connection.

Looks like a hoax. Looks like someone dressed up in a Bigfoot costume.
ReplyDeleteis it true they are making a follow up series called finding the tooth fairy, followed by finding the leprechaun ? i cant believe grown adults believe squatch's exist, wake up and smell the coffee, there is no such thing as bigfoot or sasquatch, if there were so many of them alive and roaming the country, ask yourself why NONE!!!!! of them dead or alive have ever been found
ReplyDeleteSame ol' comment, "Why ain't they no body?" I have listened to both sides of the debate and I agree that until there is a body brought out in front of a television for everyone to view, the skeptics will not consider the volumes and volumes of physical evidence, (hair, dna, photos, videos, eyewitness accounts, vocalizations-all of this evidence has been authenticated by independent experts by the way.)I too have a shadow of doubt, but the evidence is starting to pile up. With more and more effort being made to actually locate these creatures, eventually something has "gotta give." I can not simply overlook all of the evidence and say that everyone is lieing and everything is fake and a hoax. Way to many credible people who would not ruin their names for that.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you ask native americans about BigFoot. For decades and more they carved imegs of him in totem poles and drew picture of BigFootin rock paintings. So if anyone knew anything about BigFoot it would be the native americans and yes he does exsist.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that woman with the glasses on this show shes a crictic she don't believe in BigFoot...
It will be ironic if when they finally capture a bigfoot it actually looks like a man dressed in a bigfoot costume.

ReplyDeleteI do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Is it just me or does it give the impression like a few of these responses look like they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other places, I would like to follow you.
