Presently, there are nearly 80,000 permanent receive sites in the U.S. that receive nearly 35,000 hours of BTV content a year. Business Television is very similar to what you see on a regular television network in your home, only it's private to your business or corporation and of course lacks commercials. Not only is the travel costly for the organization, but it puts a burden on the employee due to being away from home and out of the office. The concept of communicating to all remote employees, at once has executives sitting up and taking notice of the cost savings, the value of communicating with all employees instantly, and the limitless opportunities for company content to reach employees. BTV Networks have several formats.
Content can be live and interactive, taped or a combination of both live and pre-recorded content.
Most networks are large, encompassing hundreds or even thousands of locations transmitting both video and data, sometimes referred to as Distance Learning Networks. This adds extra value to the BTV network by offering alternative uses besides video delivery. What a Business Television Network Isn't Originally, many companies thought conference calling via the telephone would be enough for corporation meetings and conferences. In certain cases, teleconferencing is an excellent tool for an ad-hoc meeting between two or three people. However, what emerged and went a step further from teleconferencing is video conferencing.
