Indeed, part of the networks' strategy to lure back Saturday-morning viewers focuses on copying a big secret of Nickelodeon's success: promotion, promotion, promotion. Fox, for example, has tripled the marketing and promotion budget, in part to advertise its kids' fare on cable and radio stations. ABC is now using its prime-time Friday-night block, which includes youth-oriented series like Clueless, to aggressively promote shows airing the next morning...
