Seems like there are a lot of life extension programs in the mainstream media lately. Usually a good thing! (unless they start bashing it of course)

It will be on later tonight!

I am assuming AC360 is on live?
If so, it will be on 10 Eastern, 9 Central, 8 Mountain, and 7 Pacific.

Hopefully they cast cryonics in a positive (or at least objective) light.

Ah, but remember, any publicity is good publicity. Especially in the case of Life Extension. There are so many people interested in it who don't know anything about it, or where to start. I myself found out about the immortality institute because it was mentioned on the Daily Show. Although it wasn't necessarily bad publicity, it wasn't necessarily good either. It's all about the free advertisement.

I'm not sure, perhaps. (it might be worth checking out)
However, it is 1 hour, 20 minutes into the 2 hour program right now, and I haven't seen anything on cryonics yet. Perhaps the dates got mixed up on when it was airing?

Where cryonics is concerned, that's definitely not true. There have been some very damaging and expensive sequelae resulting from bad publicity, to say nothing of the fact that practically every negative stereotype of cryonics is a result of media sensationalism. Also, practically nobody joins as a result of hearing about cryonics in the media. Almost every story is a damage control exercise.

According to what Jennifer said over in the Alcor forum today, the segment got bumped from the show. She says that if the producers give them advance notice of another planned air date, that they will make another announcement.

(btw, should this thread be in the "Cryonics" or "News & Events" part of the forum?, maybe an admin can make the move)
