Bolder Broadcasting, Inc. announces the expansion of its popular Growing Bolder television program to WJXT in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hosted by award­-winning journalists Marc Middleton and Bill Shafer, Growing Bolder shares the stories of ordinary people pursuing extraordinary lives. “There is nothing else like it,” says Bolder Broadcasting CEO and Founder Marc Middleton. “Growing Bolder is an inspirational, active lifestyle show about men and women who are smashing stereotypes, redefining the possibilities of life after 50 and demonstrating that when it comes to living big, bold lives, it’s not about age, it’s about attitude.”

Already available in more than 50 million American homes, Growing Bolder will air weekly on Saturday mornings at 6:30AM on WJXT. “We’re thrilled to be joining Channel 4 The Local Station,” says Middleton. “WJXT is one of America’s top stations and does an incredible job of connecting with the local community.”

Bolder Broadcasting is based in Central Florida and launched in 2006 as the nation’s first-­ever social networking community for the 45+ market. It has since grown to a multi­platform media network, with a portfolio that includes national TV programs, radio programs, a bi­monthly magazine, a network of websites and a powerful social media footprint.

Plus, it provides us with opportunities to share local stories with the national Growing Bolder audience.”
