Excerpted from the Walla Walla Sentinel Courier:

Despite the conclusion of the show’s 15 year run, NBC has decided to continue running the show’s promotional advertisements.

Vice President of NBC-Universal’s Medical Related Programming, Reginald Wormwicker, explained the unique decision.

“We’ve gotten an incredibly large response from the carpet bombing of our ER promos across the rest of our programming,” Wormwicker remarked, “And, though most of it’s overwhelmingly negative, it’s still keeping ER in the forefront of people’s minds.”

“So, in order to keep fanning the flames, we’ve decided continue with the promos.   From there we hope to do 10-15 special 2-hour ‘ER Events’ in the future.   It’s going to be great.”

“It’s such a treasured show.”
