Goodbye TechTV, goodbye Leo Laporte
 

Leo Laporte has posted in his blog that he is no longer with TechTV.

The channel was recently sold to Comcast who is going to turn it into a videogamers channel. No word yet on what the new name of the channel will be.

Leo does have a radio gig with KFI-AM and you can hear him on the weekends. Not the same, but better than nothing:glugglug

that sucks

:( that was a good show.

damn, that sucks
Leo was the best thing on TechTV

Damn! I usally watched the show because of Leo.:(

never watched it.

cant stand those dumb people they pay to be anchors.

like it some busy workroom with a few nerds.

TURN OFF THE TV.

:thumbsup

Hopefully he gets another job once Comcast takes over the channel

this sucks, I just started watching CFH a few days ago

That blows.. Leo rocked on TechTv.

Leo was the best damn part of tech tv, now I don't even want to hack DTV. :1orglaugh


Kevin Rose is pretty cool, I talked to him on the phone one time. At least he's still there. He used to have his reume' on the net so I jsut called him one time to tell him I liked the show.

a great lost to techTV fanatics just like me.

If they were going to get rid of anyone it should have been that dwarf looking guy Patrick and it could have been Leo and Kevin Rose who were the two most entertaining people on TechTV. A game station will have no interest for me.

Gaming network will flop

like the kids are gonna watch a gaming network...


They just dont the get it...

THE FUCKIN KIDS GOT THE TUBE ON XBOX.... NOT TV !!!


THEY ARE GAMING...


:feels-hot :feels-hot


Damn I hate when shit is so obvious!!


BIG B

That really sucks!

LOL I used to work with Leo back when he was just a radio guy here in the Bay Area. He got me into a couple conventions in San Jose and shit with some of his crew.

Good times, good guy. Sad to see TechTV go, but they didnt carry it here anyway.

Kate and Leo was the coolest geek class every afternoon. Good times. Back then they used to hop in the chat during the commercial breaks and the chat had avitars everyone would make wave when they showed the chat onscreen. Sometimes they would stream chat text under the program. I was lucky to catch ZDTV (the original name for TechTV) from the beginning on C-Band, local cable only added them in the past year. I used to catch Leo back when he was on The Site on MSNBC. I'll definitely be streaming his KFI program.

I'm the one friends and family run to when they have a PC problem and I have a saying when anyone asks me how I learned about computers, "Half of what I know about computers I learned from Leo Laporte, the other half from Google":thumbsup

Oh and somewhere I have a Dash and Tilde t-shirt I won in one of their trivia contests. It was before they turned Dash into a cyber-George Michaels.:1orglaugh

He was an idiot for not getting his own domain and branding it the right way. Especially if it was a blog...Who the fuck is going to remember that URL?

Like I said before, he's an idiot.

Its still on I just watched it...
:thumbsup

No.......!!!!!!!. I used to watch all the time when the Network first started (ZDTV). I especially liked the Screen Savers with Leo since the topics were pretty advanced and not newbie oriented like many other computer shows.


Comcast are dumbasses. A pure gaming show will not work and will appeal only to a VERY narrow audience. I 'm very sad to hear that.......... :waaaaahh :waaaaahh :waaaaahh :waaaaahh

lol:(

exactly, and isn't The Game Show Network (now known as GSN) covering that already?

:ak47: Comcast sucks!

Everything Comcast touches, turns to shit.

Might as well turn off the lights now, and sell the assets on eBay.

His main URL is www.leoville.com. Can you remember that? I linked the subdomain b/c it had the best direct info on the webcast. Even if you have trouble remembering "leoville," no worries - just type in "Leo Laporte" on Google and the top 7 links all take you to some part of his site. Even challenged people like yourself should have no troubles finding it.

As for TechTV, Leo has said he may be re-hired after the power transfer. His current employers are responsible for his exit, not Comcast.

TechTV is brilliant. Leo rules. G4 is awful. :321GFY

I wanted to bang Kate so bad....

Comcast sucks!

kat is a hottie:Graucho

game channel ? lol right.....


tech tv is losing it

the best thing on tech tv is that Webb girl on x-play....leo was cool 2
