This Wednesday Metanomics returns with a mixed reality event using two planes of reality and creating another two.

The first layer is real world video captured live from the Engage Conference in San Jose and streamed to a screen on stage in Second Life to be viewed by a live audience of approximately 60 avatars. The video will show panelists Philip Rosedale and Tom Hale, together with moderator Professor Robert Bloomfield.

The new dedicated Fashion Channel is now running 24/7 for your viewing pleasure. Fabulous Fashion, MODA Fashion Spotlight and the Modavia Opening Event (to be filmed this Thursday) will be featured on rotation.

This Saturday from 11.30am Treet TV personalities will host a range of special events from the Relay for Life in SL, including the Silent Auction with Pooky Amsterdam and the Giant Snail Races with the inimitable RacerX Gullwing.

Winners of the inaugural Linden Prize, Studio Wikitecture, have formed a partnership with Second Life’s leading virtual television network Treet TV to create a collaborative building environment for bringing new life to Treet's studio islands.

What happens when a local broadband network up-grade goes horribly wrong? You guessed it, Treet goes offline for almost a week! Technicians are running around madly trying to resolve the situation, however, shows will not resume until the Saturday snail races. All video streams and archives are still working and we are receiving email.

Today marks the 65th show of Sail On and along with it the announcement that show host, MarkTwain White, is taking a well earned sabbatical on the broadcast. The regattas and sailing on the United Sailing sims will continue to take place as usual. In honor of the final live broadcast we filmed it in widescreen and the footage includes some spectacular views and close finishes across the line. We wish MarkTwain White and crew all the very best and thank them for all their hard work over the past year that has made Sail On a much loved and popular show on SLCN.TV.

We are pleased to present a Dancing Ink Productions live event from the American University in Cairo's Virtual Newsroom featuring James Glassman, US Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs in conversation with a group of Egyptian political bloggers who covered the 2008 US presidential campaign.

We're pleased to say that coverage of the brilliant SLHA Ice Hockey games has returned to our regular broadcast schedule.

We are in the process of revamping That S'Life - our longest running show on SLCN.TV - and we would love your feedback. Please let us know if you have any great suggestions about what we could do with the show to make it more useful and entertaining for you. Email info@slcn.tv or IM Starr Sonic or duckyfresh Watanabe directly.
