Is it me or has Tech TV turned to $hit lately?

I remember that she could NEVER get a word in b/c Leo was always cutting her off or taking over.

He had to keep cutting her off because she was almost always totally wrong when she tried to answer a question. She had no business being on that show.

25% laid off

I think her name was Kate Botello or something like that. I remember that she could NEVER get a word in b/c Leo was always cutting her off or taking over.

She's in NY now to pursue a theatre career. She just married Ray Weigel, who had a part on Extended Play.

Tech tv needs ratings bad and I think they're trying to appeal to more people than just hardcore geeks by dumbing down the screensavers more, adding in the thunderbirds, max headroom, etc. I understand them wanting to make it appeal to more people but I think by taking away all of the really tech focus they're also driving away their long time viewers (like me.) They have more shows coming up soon that sound like they'll suck too. It is paul allens company so the chances of it dying are still slim, but you have to wonder how long he'll let it loose money.

In short they're changing from an information focus to an entertainment focus. Boo.

just to know.. paul allen has been seen around the set.. i remember when the call for help - a - thon was on.. the guy was roaming in the background doing nothing..

Techtv is a good concept its just that they got to focus on what they do good and then reduce overhead enough to be profitable.

And now without Erica Hill, there's no good reason to watch TechLive!

That's what happened apparently. They cut a lot of good staff including Jennifer London that did the Documentary on my case last year.

Thunderbirds is a) not a cartoon you moron and b) freaking awesome.

Case and point.
