A few months ago I was chatting with the CEO of the Learning and Performance Institute, Colin Steed, about the possibility of a TV programme or channel dedicated to L&D. We batted some ideas around about subject matter, frequency, delivery mechanism and other logistics, and this conversation continued in bursts whenever we met each other at events.

Thankfully, one of us (Colin) pushed the idea forward and the result will soon be there for all to see. That result has become Learning NOW TV, the brainchild of Colin Steed, and presented by L&D industry veteran Nigel Paine. Taking care of the (considerably tricky) technical side of things is Ady Howes from Genting UK, with Marco Faccini looking after sales and marketing. Roving reporters are myself and Martin Couzins, one-time editor of TrainingZone and founder of both LearnPatch and MOOCpro.

It's been incredibly exciting seeing this all come together through a combination of hard work, vision and technical wizardry and I'm looking forward to seeing people's reaction to it. This is a programme designed to meet the needs, maybe even solve some problems, of L&D people and there's even an opportunity to be in the programme if you want to tell us what L&D means to you in 60 seconds. Also, feedback is important so do drop us a line.
