NEW YORK -- FX unveiled a multimillion-dollar branding campaign that the cable network hopes will raise its profile even further among TV viewers.
The campaign, which begins next week inside Nip/Tuck, will be launched despite the fact that the writers strike has put the channel in the position of not having as many original episodes of its signature shows as it would have liked.
The campaign includes some of the more memorable moments from FX's programs, led by three 60-second spots that span its entire original offerings as well as 30-second spots on each show.
FX president John Landgraf said the spots highlight the anti-hero and nonconformity strains of the shows. He paid homage to the shows' creators and writers, saying that they "really defied, even obliterated, the cliches of the genre."
The network goes into the writers strike with original episodes of "Nip/Tuck" until February but without firm plans yet for the rest of its series. A recently completed season of The Shield could wait until the fall, and there is a full season of the unscripted 30 Days plus seven episodes each of The Riches and Dirt.
Landgraf said that he would like to be able to hold Riches and Dirt for them to run a full season, but that might not happen.
