(July 22, 2010) -- Bolder Media Group, parent company of GROWING BOLDER and GrowingBolder.com, announces a new partnership with American Public Television, a leading distributor of high-quality, top-rated programming to America's public television stations.
American Public Television is distributing GROWING BOLDER in HD via satellite to public television stations coast-to-coast.

GROWING BOLDER is a 30-minute weekly program, produced in high-definition and hosted by award-winning journalists Marc Middleton and Bill Shafer. The program features men and women who smash the many stereotypes of middle age and beyond -- from masters athletes to entertainers to authors and musicians. GROWING BOLDER debuted on WMFE-TV/FM (Orlando) and WEDU-TV (Tampa) in 2009, and quickly found an audience.
"It's a game changer. I believe The Growing Bolder TV Show is unlike anything else on the air, anywhere in America," says WMFE-TV/FM CEO Jose A. Fajardo. "I have seen the show connect with WMFE viewers, members and supporters and I'm confident it will connect with people across America. It's upbeat, inspirational and entertaining."
"Our mission statement is that it's not about age; it's about attitude,' and our team works hard every day to tell the stories of people across the country that are taking that belief and putting it into action. We're thrilled that our show has been so well received in its three seasons on the air in Florida, and look forward to connecting with new viewers and fans in every state across America," says Executive Producer Katy Widrick.
