9 to 5
Online Content
9 to 5 is an innovative documentary-style show produced by WJCT Productions. The concept is to expose the audience to various occupations and to uncover what truly lies behind one’s job title. 9 to 5 attempts to dispel the myths and misconceptions, inquire about the decisions made and the paths taken and ask if and/or how their particular job has changed them or their view of the world.

First Coast Forum
A quarterly series of interactive community forums designed to address critical challenges facing Florida’s First Coast and to engage the community in resolving them. Each program brings First Coast business and community leaders together for discussion, and gives community members an opportunity to weigh in. Launched in July 2001, the quarterly forums broadcast live on TV and radio.
First Coast Forum: Influence of the Arts
LIVE: Thursday, October 27 at 8pm on WJCT-TV and 89.9 WJCT Public Radio!
Though arts and music are often the first targets of public school funding cuts, we’re seeing a growing number of artistic endeavors designed to raise awareness about social issues. Art projects – like the “One in Three” multimedia exhibit seeking to raise the graduation rate, and Another Sign, a musical on homelessness sponsored in part by the City Rescue Mission – are serving to bring attention to serious community problems. Don’t miss First Coast Forum-Influence of the Arts, as we explore how the arts are being used as an agent for social change, look at what’s spurring the trend, and see whether it’s working.
