This Week's Episode: Selling the Dream
It may be difficult to tell from some of the stories you see here in the GB Insider Newsletter, but every once in a while, we really do have to do some actual work! Watch here as Marc and Bill head over to the Clear Channel Radio studios in Orlando. They've been invited to make a presentation to the sales staff at 540 WFLA, the flagship station of the Growing Bolder Radio Show. The goal? To help the staff explain to advertisers why marketing their products to people over 50 is critical to their success and why the Growing Bolder Radio Show is the perfect place to reach them.

A Jones for Classic TV
Ever watch TV Land? It's where you'll find your favorite shows from yesterday presented in a fresh, hip and original way. Under the leadership of Larry W. Jones, TV Land is one of the fastest growing networks on cable. And he says this is just the beginning! He stopped by the Growing Bolder Radio Show to talk about why the formula has been so successful, why the kids of today are drawn to the great old shows and why network TV is making a big mistake ignoring viewers over the age of 50.
