ON Dating is a new Internet dating advice program produced by NBC Universal Digital Studios for ON Networks. The show functions as a virtual dating coach, dedicated to helping viewers navigate the sometimes treacherous terrain of online romance.

Each “ON Dating” episode serves as a 3-8 minute primer on how to
date in the 21st century, offering viewers advice on topics ranging from how to write the perfect profile to proper online etiquette to
selecting the site that’s best for you.

This is a fantastic idea. I talked with some television executives several years ago about the exact same thing, running on cable and the web.

This week’s episode features an exclusive interview with Dr. Ian Kerner, a relationship expert with Match.com.

ON Dating is one of several new programs being introduced by ON Networks, Inc. (ON). Other shows available at www.onnetworks.com are: Austin Connoisseur, Budget Health Nut, Cocktails on the Fly, Dinner with the Band, Golf Tips, Stump the Chef and Zen Living.

Dating sites may want to offer these videos to members. Most of the segments are Dating 101, but there is always a need for this basic information for the millions of singles that try online dating each year.
