Washington, D.C.—Television has become such an integral part of life in America, many of us feel like the people we watch on TV each day are our friends. Think about it. How many times have you caught yourself talking back to your set when you disagree with something?

Daily Café, a new Retirement Living TV (RLTV) program, not only wants to hear those comments, it plans to make them part of the show!

Interactive format
Breaking the onesided mold of traditional television, Daily Café is an interactive daily television show for and about mature Americans. “Daily Café represents the very best of RLTV, offering our audience informative and compelling interviews and news stories, as well as a broad variety of entertaining lifestyle segments,” says Retirement Living Vice President of Programming Elliot Jacobson. “I am very excited at the prospect of this live show which calls on audience participation through phone and e-mail, allowing our viewers to shape the direction of many conversations and interviews.”

Hosting Daily Café are two well-respected broadcast journalists. Emmy awardwinning cohost Mary Alice Williams is no stranger to groundbreaking television. Williams was among the original team that shaped CNN into the worldwide news operation it is today.

Award-winning cohosts
Sharing the anchor desk with Williams is cohost Felicia Taylor, best known for her work at New York’s WNBC-TV, where she coanchored the weekend evening news programs and the number one rated weekend morning news program, Weekend Today.

Williams and Taylor keep the conversation light and lively throughout the two-hour program. Whether they’re interviewing a Vietnam vet currently serving in Iraq, celebrating pop icon Paul McCartney’s 65th birthday, or discussing financial planning for a comfortable retirement, the cohosts never lose sight of who’s watching.
