He was also a producer for TBS Superstation's Feed Your Mind, an award-winning children's show, during which he traveled the world in search of unique, unreported stories. Earlier in his career, Lanford worked with CNN as the news anchor for College Television Network, which aired on college campuses every day and was seen by more than one million students worldwide. In all, Lanford is the recipient of 18 Southeast Emmy awards for his work.
