Boomer Retirement Special to Air on Thursday March 4th 2010

In a landmark two-hour documentary, CNBC and Tom Brokaw take viewers on a provocative journey down memory lane and peer into an uncertain future. From Woodstock to the civil rights movement, in war and politics, Brokaw chronicles the extraordinary impact 78 million baby boomers have had on American society over the past six decades. He sits down with a fascinating cross-section of boomers to talk about their generation’s life and legacy, including U.S. Senator and Vietnam veteran James Webb; Anne Mulcahy and Ursula Burns, chairman and CEO, respectively, of Xerox Corporation; author and critic Michael Eric Dyson; and political satirist P.J. O’Rourke. Brokaw also introduces viewers to everyday boomers and their children -- real people who have lived through unprecedented prosperity and now find themselves facing significant financial, physical and social challenges. This boomer generation is also willing to travel further and choosing places unlike stereotypical retirement hotspots. Some of these locals may be covered. “TOM BROKAW REPORTS: BOOMERS!” will air on CNBC Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 9 p.m. ET and re-air on CNBC on Saturday, March 6^th at 7PM ET, Sunday, March 7^th at 9PM ET and Monday, March 8^th at 8PM ET.
