The executive producers and creators of the television show "The League" are answering fans' questions on reddit today. Here's the description they provided:
We're Jeff and Jackie Schaffer - the EPs/Creators of "The League" on FX. We'll be coming in and out throughout the day answering questions from set and maybe grabbing the cast and crew to record some video responses to our favorites. (those videos may take a day or two - hey, we are still shooting today)
1245 - OK have to jump off for a bit and shoot a scene with Jon LaJoie - if you've got a question for him post it and we'll have him answer a few. he said oh cool - but we think he meant fuck you get out of my trailer
By answering questions through Reddit, the creators are able to personally connect and interact with their fans. I'm sure that this will create a lot of positive feedback for "The League" as it makes the people behind it (especially the people making the big bucks off of it) seem like they really care about their supporters. And they are even having the actors answer questions. Fans are getting answers to questions quickly and efficiently. Before the internet and social media, fans would have had to mail their questions to the "The League" studio and then wait several weeks for a response, if any.
I'm sure that this creative way of promoting the show will lead to much positive feedback and increased fan loyalty to the show. I've never watched the "The League", but after reading this reddit, I'm definitely going to check it out.

I was just about to post this. Upvote to you for speed.
Also, by making it to the front page of Reddit they created a lot of awareness for a show in what is probably their ideal segment.
