Good morning, America (and an early morning it was, too)!

It seemed like it took all night to make it happen but the live Good Morning America segment ran yesterday with a nice, solid plug for KVH and our TracVision and TracNet products. We had to get our demo vehicle to the convention center at 2:30 AM, run a gauntlet of overly aggressive and moderately cranky security guards (though it was cold and 2:30 AM and to be honest, I wasn’t a ray of sunshine at that hour either), drive the Yukon Denali XL through the convention center displays (hope no one noticed the dent I left on that exhibit…just kidding), and then get it all set up in the temporary studio along with the other products that were being featured.

Kudos to our outstanding PR team at XPR Public Relations. Companies pitched more than 600 products to GMA and despite the competition, XPR landed a segment for both of ours. Nice work, guys.

Finally at 5:15 local time, the live segment kicked off following some banter between Diane Sawyer and Becky Worley, ABC’s reporter on the spot.


After Becky shot some additional footage for Yahoo News, we eased the demo vehicle back out into the early morning and into its prime location at the front of the Las Vegas Convention Center just in time for sunrise.
