The Company

Med Talk Network, LLC - Our founders have been providing online communications for corporations for the past six years with a reputable multimedia company, Skyways Communications, LLC. Med Talk Network launched in May 2008 with high quality Internet radio programs, designed for an audience of medical professionals and the medical community nationwide. MTN, along with several other similar Internet portal networks currently being developed, provide an online meeting place for professionals to share ideas, news & information, resources and contacts with primary focus on Internet radio shows for a target medical audience.

The people at Medical Talk Network are what make the difference. We are former Television broadcasters – a team of producers, writers, engineers, videographers, designers and audio technicians – who made successful careers producing live TV News for decades. Our level of skill and experience in producing the content for many different technology applications sets us apart from software or hardware specialists. We believe the content is more important than the technology used to deliver it. And that’s our mission for our audience. MTN shows are about issues that are important to medical professionals nationwide and the global medical community.
