  3. I admire their bulldog desire to succeed and would like to talk business with them. I could use their unique sales ability.

    The producers of the reality TV series “Wall Street Warriors” find themselves in a case of life imitating life.

    The show documents life on Wall Street by focusing on a handful of traders, brokers and fund managers, and the producers, Sean Skelton and Scott Gill, had a front-row seat as the bottom fell out of the financial markets.

    “We’ve been capturing a lot of drama lately,” Mr. Skelton said Friday as he was shooting in Manhattan. “We’ve got the backlash of the credit crisis from last year, which we started capturing about halfway through the second season. So things started off bad this year. But about halfway through our season this year, things have gotten really bad with the bank failures and the bailout and the drama.”

    Then about a month ago, the bottom fell out for “Wall Street Warriors” itself when the high-definition cable channel that has been carrying the show, MOJO-HD, announced that it would cease operations in December.

    “It kind of happened at the same time” as the markets were diving, Mr. Gill said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles.

    Mr. Skelton added, “I guess it’s somewhat ironic that it’s happening.”

    But MOJO, which reached only about 10 million homes at its peak, told the team to finish production and promised to work with it to find a new home for the show. “Warriors” reached No. 1 on iTunes in July for downloads of reality television series.

    “We’ll be done with production in the next four to six weeks,” Mr. Skelton said. “We’ll be done editing the show probably by February or March.”

    He said that the team is continuing to document the turmoil on Wall Street, and is committed to finding an outlet to distribute the series.

    And with the optimism of stock brokers telling their clients to stay in the market, Mr. Skelton and Mr. Gill say they are confident that they will find a new network. “I think,” Mr. Skelton said, “we’ll be around for a fourth season.” CARLA BARANAUCKAS

  9. That would be nice. Although I'd prefer an HD channel something is better than nothing. I'm glad they're going to finish creating the season. Hopefully it's a good one.

  10. AC3

    AC3

    It's a half way decent show and if CNBC picked it up it might be a bit grittier then just the softer side of the business. The wider audiance on CNBC might give people a better view of what goes on at these firms.

    An offshoot for CNBC may be to profile a few of these businesses specifially "market maker" "Investment Banker" "FX Trader" etc. Think it would be interesting..........
