SLCN.TV Debuts New Second Life Based Business Television Show

A new half-hour television show filmed entirely in Second Life has debuted on the Second Life Cable Network (http://www.slcn.tv). REAL BIZ in SL is part talk show, part tour featuring real world companies and organizations with a presence in the 3-dimensional virtual world of Second Life.

“With all the hype about companies jumping in and pulling out of Second Life, REAL BIZ sets out to show a more balanced and insightful perspective on how virtual worlds are being used in the business world,” said show creator and host Aliza Sherman aka Cybergrrl Oh. “Companies see REAL BIZ as a chance to showcase what they are doing, but we’re also looking to examine the viability of their efforts.”

Sherman, who is a real world radio and television producer, is also a long-time business writer for magazines such as Entrepreneur. Recent REAL BIZ show guests include technology components company Avnet, Inc. and online job resource Careerbuilder.com. This Thursday’s show featured Bantam Dell Publishing Group and included a tour of the company’s new island.

“From the start, we knew Aliza was going to have a hit. There is far too much mis-information about Second Life,” said Wiz Nordberg, CEO and Technical Director of SLCN.TV. Aliza brings both a fresh business perspective and an entertaining format to SLCN, and we’re proud to be airing REAL BIZ as part of our new line-up.”

In addition to airing live on the SLCN.TV web site every other Thursday, REAL BIZ along with other SLCN.TV shows are played on thousands of video screens throughout Second Life and are available through iTunes.
