Buffy The Vampire Slayer marathon heading to Pivot for Halloween
Perhaps taking to heart the lessons learned by FXX’s recent society-obliterating Simpsons marathon, small-time cable network Pivot will be airing themed blocks of Buffy The Vampire Slayer episodes every day for a week leading up to Halloween. Pivot, launched in 2013 as a “disruptive TV” service focused on social advocacy, aims to appeal to adults 18-34, that tricky subset of discerning viewers who must be convinced why they should watch live cable television when they already get Netflix right on their phones. The network’s original programming—which includes a variety show emceed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a talk show hosted by Meghan McCain (daughter to John)—has yet to set the world on fire, but a week-long Buffy marathon is bound to get a few millennials to turn on the TV.
