NBCU goes green, very green

They even turned out the studio lights at the halftime show for Sunday Night Football. Not only has NBC gone green on the air, but also online…

And by extension, Broadcasting & Cable and TVWeek, running NBCU ads…

Maybe I should turn Lost Remote green to help spread the message about the environment. Well, now that I think about it, only if NBCU buys an ad…

Update: Charles in comments mocks up a green Lost Remote. Hmmm.

Adds Safran: NBCU has a master blog going about this at greenisuniversal.com where they list all their affiliated shows’ “green sites,” and have blog entries about the effort.

TV promos on my groceries

Imagine my surprise when I brought home my dinner of rock fish from Safeway in Seattle and found this promo for the CBS show Cane attached to the wrapping.

I immediately set my DVR to record the show (not).
