Safran on GMA, MSNBC
Cory Bergman February 1st, 2007
As promised, Steve appeared in a Good Morning America piece this morning along with a few Lost Remote screen shots. Here’s the video. And he just wrapped up an appearance on MSNBC’s The Most. To recap, we believe he was the first to break the news of the connection between the Boston devices and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He made an interesting point on GMA: why didn’t the Cartoon Network notify CNN — which was in the middle of breaking news for a good portion of the afternoon — about the connection? They’re both run by Turner Broadcasting. And on MSNBC, Steve said Boston authorities are going too far. “Was it a bad idea? Definitely. Was it an overreaction? Definitely, too,” he said. “The police absolutely did the right thing yesterday, today is the overreaction.” Watch the MSNBC webcast of “The Most” - don’t be fooled by the break between her intro and the show. It’s part the show’s webby charm.

Right, “blogger?” I’ve been a journalist for 15 years, and I get “blogger.” Old media, hast thou forsaken me???
I’m in the makeup chair (!) for the MSNBC shot right now. They kindly provide a computer.
I can’t explain how wrong this is….

Saw this- nice PR, and cool that you mentioned ‘Search’ and Google.

Why would Turner contact CNN about this? Do you know how much free ATHF coverage this has generated? It’s amazing.

So just wondering out of curiosity and nosiness, did Lost Remote get a gigantic increase in traffic today after all the promotion?
