TV Worldwide has been selected by the National League of Cities (NLC) to partner in creating and launching National League of Cities TV or NLC TV. NLC TV is an innovative Internet TV channel dedicated to the 19,000 cities, villages and towns represented by NLC across America. As part of the launch, NLC TV is premiering its first monthly newscast, which will showcase the latest news about cities and the views of city officials on the pressing issues of the day. The new web channel will host live and taped webcasts, archived event footage and other video programming.

The first monthly newscast features NLC's response to the recent FBI report showing growing violence in smaller cities, the latest news from the California Cities Gang Prevention Network, current efforts to address the problem of foreclosures, and recent court actions on telecom. It also includes information on NLC's upcoming Congress of Cities conference in New Orleans in November which is expected to draw more than 5,000 local elected officials and the industry and community leaders who work with them.

NLC TV will not only broadcast NLC events, but aims to be the "go-to" spot for elected officials seeking innovative programs and the latest video content on hot topics in their communities. NLC TV video will also be available in digital broadcast quality for use by television news outlets and local cable channels.

Recent events webcast by NLC TV and available for viewing now at www.NLCTV.org include: Safeguarding the American Dream, a symposium hosted by Wells Fargo on the effects of rising foreclosure rates and includes leaders of the housing industry and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; and the summit on Media Violence and its Impact on Children, hosted by NLC President and Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson.

NLC partnership with TV Worldwide is based on the company's history as the leading provider of online Internet video delivery solutions, including the creation, promotion and distribution of Internet TV content online. NLC and TV Worldwide piloted this project for the past 18 months through National City Network and will now integrate that work into NLC TV to create a rich archive of video content on a variety of issues from housing and community development to homeland security, broadband wireless networks, and programs affecting youth and families.
