American Milestones Themes

The upbeat programming of American Milestones Joan Lunden reflects themes that have inspired people for centuries and speak to people regardless of their background. In challenging times, we can all use some more positive content on television. We hear enough about recession, crime, murder, war, and other negative things. So many other television shows feature these themes that it’s nice to find a show that does not and yet still informs its viewers. This television program focuses on encouraging themes instead, bringing television audiences across the country stories of perseverance, advancement, benevolence, innovation and achievement.

These times in which we live are difficult without a doubt. The lingering economic hardship facing consumers and businesses has worn us all down. Difficult economic times typically lead to an uptick in crime, as people become increasingly desperate trying to make ends meet. We also face threats of war and terrorism across the globe, and issues like poverty and disease continue to affect people across the world. In such difficult days, and when it seems like negative news dominates our TV screens, it can be easy to forget that there are positive things happening across the globe, and things are getting better in various areas of society.

American Milestones with Joan Lunden concentrates on inspiring stories across the country and across the globe. It showcases encouraging examples of success, advancement and progress in all parts of the world, featuring stories that reflect positive themes rather than the typical negative content presented on so many other television programs.
