Sector B
About this original series
Through a combination of studio interviews with a host and video packages shot on location throughout the borough, Sector B: The Business of Brooklyn will help viewers find the tools and institutions that can help them find a location; market their companies; manage their employees; develop new products; keep a factory afloat; and deal with the bumps in the road to building or sustaining any business. We'll also highlight training and job opportunities for those looking to join the workforce or change careers. Story ideas were suggested by an advisory committee made up of major stakeholders in Brooklyn's business-related universe and reflecting a diversity of professional and cultural backgrounds. Sector B: The Business of Brooklyn is part of Brooklyn Independent Televsion, a community media program of BRIC Arts|Media|Bklyn and can be seen on the BCAT Television Network every Tuesday at 9:30pm.
