May 25, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
TVWorldwide.com, a fast-growing web-based global TV network, announced today that it had been selected by Media Training Worldwide, Inc. to develop and launch "The Speaking Channel," www.speakingchannel.tv, an Internet TV Channel featuring live and on-demand content for people who want to learn from great speakers and improve on their own speaking skills, whether they are speaking to large or small audiences, the news media or in civic or social arenas. The Speaking Channel has been in confidential conceptual development and testing throughout the spring of 2006. The soft launch announcement will be made by TV Worldwide in cooperation with Media Training Worldwide representatives at the company's webcast of Streaming Media East in New York City, May 23-24, the premier industry event for Internet-based audio and video technologies.

The channel, currently in its soft launch form at www.SpeakingChannel.tv, will feature content covering public speaking excellence and building individual presentation skills in the following areas. 1. Business (large and small group presentations). 2. Public life (civic affairs and politics). 3. Work life (employee communication/job interviews). 3. Family/social communication (parties/networking events). The Channel will feature television programming that celebrates outstanding spoken communication and gives viewers learning tools on how to build and improve their own speaking skills.

"We're excited about working with Media Training Worldwide on this ambitious and exciting Internet TV channel," stated Dave Gardy, CEO of TVWorldwide.com. "By creating and deploying global/local, 'lean-in' interactive content for speaking enthusiasts as we've done for our other Internet TV channels, we believe we can effectively present a whole new forum for the community of those interested in speaking excellence and improvement. Most important, we know The Speaking Channel will offer our industry partners a whole new innovative avenue for communicating with their target demographic audiences through viral on-line distribution as we build the channel's community."

"Speaking is the #1 fear most people have," said TJ Walker. "And yet every promotion, new business client or vote has been earned by someone willing to speak. The Speaking Channel will soon be the one place in the world where anyone interested in great speakers or becoming a better speaker can come and experience the real deal."
