Opportunity Knocks on PBS Lands Cinderella Nomination from the Academy of Reality Television for "Best Feel Good Show"

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Opportunity Knocks, a sleeper hit on PBS with a mission to change lives, has earned a surprise nomination for "Best Feel Good Show" from the Academy of Reality Television. Competing against industry titans with major network budgets including The Voice, The Golden Bachelor, America Ninja Warrior, and Shark Tank, the grant funded Opportunity Knocks is viewed by many as a Cinderella story and David vs. Goliath contender.

The show offers viewers more than just entertainment; it highlights the transformative power of nonprofits in helping people to transition from financial trauma to wellness, building better lives. Its grant-funded tools, The Opportunity Finder and The Opportunity Coach powered by LifeCents, empower viewers to replicate the success they see in through a series of personalized, actionable steps and direct connection to local nonprofits to increase their financial stability.

Brian Spoor, the primetime Emmy-nominated showrunner, director, and executive producer of Opportunity Knocks, stated, "This show gives meaning to my life's work."

Jamie Strayer, the show's Creator and Executive Producer, added, "Our goal is to give everyone access to opportunity. This nomination suggests that there might be a growing appetite for content that prioritizes heart over hype."

"Through Opportunity Knocks and The Opportunity Coach powered by LifeCents, viewers aren't just watching life-changing coaching in action – they're invited to live it," said Blake Allison, Founder and CEO of LifeCents. "This interactive experience empowers families to take the same transformational steps toward financial wellness, right from their own homes."

Jean Chatzky, CEO of HerMoney and 25-year financial editor for NBC Today.
Louis Barajas, CEO of Business Management LAB and the first Latino Director on the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.
