Retirement Living TV

The Baltimore Business Journal recently wrote about a bold new TV effort:

Through its educational programming -- shows about everything from Medicare to fitness to money -- RLTV aims to change the way Americans perceive, and live, their retirement years.

Just about a year after its launch, Retirement Living can now be seen in about 26 million homes nationwide, filling blocks of time for two Comcast networks -- CN8 and CET5 -- and also being distributed through DirecTV.

The network is developing about 15 original shows, has 300 hours of programming in the can and recently signed a deal with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) that will allow RLTV to bring in proven talent to host those programs.

Check out their web site at www.rl.tv. We think a channel like this is much needed and we hope it's successful.
