Hi, Laporte Report subscriber!
The time has finally come. Monday, April 2, TechTV's schedule will be
completely revamped to accomodate nine hours of new live programming... a
day.
Starting tomorrow, I will no longer be hosting Call for Help (see my
previous message for all the gory details). My new schedule is as follows:
2:30-4p Eastern Anchor, TechLive
7-8:30p Eastern Host, The Screen Savers
I'll be on the air three hours a day, five days a week. From 2:30-3p I'll be
anchoring with Erica Hill. In the 3-4p hour I'll have a different co-anchor
each day: Liam Mayclem, Alex Wellen, Sumi Das, Jennifer London, or Adam
Sessler.
TechLive is live and will not be repeated. It includes tech news, financial
news, segments from all our shows, and I'll answer at least two questions by
phone or netcam each day. It airs from 9am-3p Eastern every weekday from the
new TechLive studio. Michaela Perreira and Steve Abrams are the other
anchors. Carmine Gallo and Pam Kreuger will be in-studio for financial news,
and we'll have regular reports from our new satellite bureaus in Seattle,
Silicon Valley, New York, and Washington D.C.
Call for Help is now airing from 5-6p Eastern as the last hour of TechLive.
Becky Worley and Scott Herriot will host and I will do a daily Macintosh tip
at about 5:30p each day.
The Screen Savers is moving to Call for Help's old time and expanding to 90
minutes. We're upgrading the show to include a wider variety of stuff
including Leo's Boot Camp: basic training for beginners, more big name
guests, and some new faces. Patrick and I will take your calls, as well. I
think you'll really like the new format and time. The Screen Savers will be
repeated at 10p and 1a nightly.
I hope you'll tune in to TechTV's opening day. And let me know what you
think!
Leo
