ON MAY 21 GOULD Resources & Internet
Telecommunications--that's GRIT for short, partner--held an inaugural broadcast
from The Museum of Television & Radio (http://www.mtr.org). This event
honored GRIT's donation of interviews, news, and talk format programming to the
Museum's permanent collection. The show's content archived and discussed radio
and television broadcasting from early years to present Internet transmissions.
Some guests were: Tom Bergeron, host of "Fox After Breakfast," veteran
broadcaster Edwin Newman, and Rabbi Ronald B. Sobel of Congregation Emanu-El. I
got to speak with GRIT's president Robert Gould during the private reception
following. He bubbled, "It's great. I can't believe it!" Host of
"Media MADness" Aaron Cohen was equally exuberant. He introduced me
to show host Jason Ojalvo who commented, "It's nice the museum has
recognized this media while its still fresh and not waiting till it is a
relic." Marketing director Jodie Kahn admitted, "it's an honor to be
accepted to broadcast from the museum and it'll be interesting to see what
Internet broadcast becomes."
A chronicle of the people and events in technology, internet and media since 1997, mixed in with snapshots of musings and observations.
