announced today that it had been selected by Media Training

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.”
