LAKELAND, Fla., Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Florida orange juice unveils its partnership with entertainment journalist Nancy O’Dell just as CBS Television Distribution announced she will serve as the new co-anchor of Entertainment Tonight in 2011 after Mary Hart’s final season. Florida orange juice has teamed up with the celebrity mom as she launches her Album of Hope Initiative with Creative Memories to inspire families to make the most of their mornings.
O’Dell will offer a glimpse into the hectic and funny situations her family faces each morning through a series of behind-the-scenes videos on the Florida Orange Juice Facebook page. To show the importance of making daily family connections, O’Dell and Florida orange juice are launching The Morning Squeeze video contest, which encourages parents to submit a video of their own morning challenges for a chance to win a family getaway to Florida.
“With so many things on my plate, it is more important than ever to find time within my hectic work schedule to have quality interactions with my family,” said Nancy O’Dell. “That’s why I am thrilled to partner with 100 percent Florida orange juice to show parents across the country that making meaningful connections with your family, no matter how brief, can have a big impact on your family’s day.”

From January 12 to 23, viewers will have the opportunity to vote for the winning video that represents the most humorous, “squeezed” morning routine.
