It’s important to remember that paper letters are the key to our efforts, and events are spaced out so you have at least a week to prepare as many as you can. Please refer to our how to help section for addresses and more information.
Then on the day of the event, you can also send faxes, make phone calls, and use our email program at SDSmail.org.
* Chloe King fans, you might also want to check out the Chloe King Source blog with more resources and fan suggestions on how to save the show. There is a distinct possibility of a Chloe King TV movie if ABC Family gets enough pressure to pick up the script.
So Random Not Yet Renewed…
Let’s get one thing clear, So Random has NOT been cancelled. However, Disney has not yet renewed the show either. They will have to make that decision in the next couple weeks, and Save Disney Shows wants to make sure that they make the right decision.
Please take five minutes this week to Send an Email and Make a Phone Call.
The future of So Random could very well depend on you!

Sean Cocchia Promoted at Disney Channel
Following Gary Marsh’s recent promotion, it seems logical that Sean Cocchia would be moving up a step as well. Together Marsh and Cocchia have played a major role in shaping the direction of the channel for the past few years.
Sean Cocchia has been promoted to the new role of Senior Vice President, Business Operations and General Manager, Disney Channels Worldwide,… Cocchia has been with Disney since 1998 and was most recently Senior Vice President and General Manager, Radio Disney. Marsh said, “Sean is a brilliant strategist and a strong manager, with an incredible perspective on our global businesses. He will be an invaluable partner as we build DCWW for the future.”

New DCOM Radio Rebel Premieres This Month
Debby Ryan’s new DCOM premieres later this month.
Fan favorite Debby Ryan (“Jessie”) stars as a teen who secretly breaks free from her painfully shy self and into the persona of a bold podcast host who rocks her Seattle high school with music and the message to ‘be yourself,’ in “Radio Rebel,” a Disney Channel Original Movie based on the novel Shrinking Violet, premiering FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT).
Be sure to check out the Debby Ryan Forum for more about Debby and read more about the movie on the DC Fans Blog.
Anna Maria Perez de Tagle Goes Broadway!
Actress Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, of Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana and Camp Rock, is currently performing as a featured soloist in the musical Godspell on Broadway! Anna sings the song “Day By Day” in the production and will appear live after the show as part of their Tuesday Night Talkback Series on February 28.

Visit our New ABC Blog!
Apparently Webmaster Greg doesn’t have enough to do already, because he’s started a new website about the ABC Broadcast network and ABC Family Channel. We think he just has a crush on Lucy Hale, but it looks like a fun site all the same.
Check it out at MyABCGirls.com.
Disney Channel Desktop Wallpapers
W.I.T.C.H. Forum Co-Admin Yasmine has been working on a new project that we wanted to take a moment share with you. In association with DC Fans we’re now offering a special collection of original wallpapers for both wide screen and standard computer desktops plus a special iPhone and tablet optimized version. We’ve released a set of Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez wallpapers so far with more on the way.
You’ll find all current and future releases in the DC Fans Wallpaper Section.
Kimvention Cancelled
Last night Donald Speirs (Chairman & CEO,
Kimvention 2012, Inc.) announced that due to low ticket sales Kimvention 2012 has been cancelled.
Lots of people over the last six months said they wanted to attend. Even pledged they would buy tickets once they went on sale. But I guess they wanted to attend something other than what I offered. When we opened the event sales a couple of weeks ago, almost no one purchased tickets.
The entire Save Disney Shows team would like to take a moment to thank Mr. Speirs and the entire Kimvention team for their efforts to organize this event and keep KP’s memory alive. Please take a moment to read the full letter at the Kimvention 2012 website and please consider making a donation to St Judes in honor of Gary Sperling.
It is possible that some sort of smaller event may take place with certain members of the crew. We will keep you updated if and when we know more.
Selena Gomez’s UNICEF Benefit Concert
On January 20th Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez held her second annual UNICEF benefit concert at the House of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood CA. Never one to miss out on a chance to see Selena, our very own Webmaster Greg was there in attendance. Along with special guests Big Time Rush, Selena put on quite a show in this unique acoustic performance.
You’ll find a few photos and a lot of video from the event over on the DC Fans Blog.
