DESCRIPTION:

Seeking Solutions With Suzanne broke new ground when it launched in 2000 as the only seniors-targeted, nationally-broadcast program series produced by and distributed through the nation's largest cable network – Comcast Cable – as well as the only nationally-televised Seniors-focused show with a senior host: Emmy Award-winning Suzanne Roberts.

Comprised of both a 5-minute segment that airs 3 times daily on CNN Headline News, broadcast on Comcast Cable Systems, as well as a weekly half-hour that airs Sunday evenings on CN8 and Comcast Cable systems across the country, Seeking Solutions with Suzanne is an example of the kind of innovative programming that is changing the landscape of informational television for older adults.

Aiming to both inform and entertain, the show provides ideas, tips and insight on topics that impact adults over 50 – with a goal toward improving lives and making the journey fun, provocative, fascinating and adventure-filled. From facelifts to prostate cancer, intergenerational conflict to finance, breaking the rules of aging to weight training, Host Suzanne Roberts gives her audiences a guidemap to make the most of their lives.

MISSION & BACKGROUND:

Who says seniors slow down? Think of Gloria Steinem getting married for the first time at 66. John Glenn becoming a senator and flying back into space in his 70s. Author Saul Bellow creating a new family in his 80s. There’s a whole new kind of retirement going on, and a unique woman is leading the charge.

At 86 years old, a mother of five and grandmother of eight, Suzanne Roberts could be wintering in Palm Beach and chairing charity balls. Instead, Roberts, who has spent a lifetime seeking the best for others, and won world-wide acclaim for her work with emotionally disturbed children, decided at the age of 80 to break the mold by starting a whole new career -- tackling questions and issues about aging and its associated challenges and rewards. And she is now a woman on a mission to improve the health, enrich the lives and expand the horizons of older adults as the Emmy Award-winning host of Seeking Solutions with Suzanne.   

The first television show to take the mystery out of growing older without losing the joy, Roberts fearlessly tackles everything from riding a Harley to tai-chi, waitressing to demonstrating a breast self-exam on air, shooting her own cataract surgery to speaking frankly about sex, masturbation, gay marriage, cancer, pain management, living with

Alzheimer’s and much more -- telling it like is, as well as how it can be for millions of viewers.

Recognizing the lack of quality television programming focused on older audiences, she created the show in 2000 -- and now, having been nominated four years in a row and winning two consecutive Emmy Awards -- Suzanne and the show are transforming niche-market television -- setting a precedent for quality programming for seniors that is attracting both viewers and critical acclaim -- while she, herself, is becoming a role model and spokesperson for a new generation of older adults.

With the aging of the Boomer generation and the paradigm shift of American demographics, Suzanne Roberts is filling a major gap on the airwaves, building a bridge across the span of older adult audiences, taking up where Hugh Downs left off - with innovative programming for seniors. Charismatic and down-to-earth, with more energy than your average teen, Roberts is a visionary who has created a landmark product that currently doesn't exist on a national scope anywhere else on the small screen. She is an advocate, a spokesperson and an accessible peer to the fastest growing target market in America.
