MOJO HD. The startup-focused show of the three, Start-up Junkies, features Ron Wiener, founder and chief executive of Earth Class Mail (pictured), as he pitches angel investor network Keiretsu Forum. Earth Class Mail is the company that receives your snail-mail for you, then scans the sealed envelopes and puts the images on a secure web site so you can decide what mail to save, recycle or shred.

"Will enough VC’s get behind Ron’s idea? And will they come through in time," the show asks?

Well, VentureBeat has already published the spoiler: The Seattle company recently raised $13.3 million from Ignition Partners and the Keiretsu Forum, an angel investing consortium. Also, it was already a funded startup -- it previously raised $3.25 million in funding from Alliance of Angels.

One of the other shows, Bobby G: Adventure Capitalist, follows the deals of Robert (Bobby) Genovese, a private equity investor who moved from California to the Bahamas a couple of years ago. In the show, he travels the world buying and selling companies (mostly not tech companies).

The third show, Wall Street Warriors, is in its second season, showing the day-to-day lives of various Wall Street types.

If you're in the 94041 area code, you can check out the channels on Comcast (the owner of MOJO HD) at channels 719 and 740.

I'm personally not compelled to buy myself access to the channel. If I'm going to watch TV, I'm going to watch sports, comedy or movies, and I already pay for cable. Let me know in comments if you've watched the shows and liked them (or not).
