Here's why you don't see Leo Laporte on TechTV anymore:
He was forced off the network. Seriously. :cry:

From Leo's blog:

...The reasons for my leaving are complicated. As I posted here a few weeks ago, management and I had come to a very satisfactory agreement about a new work schedule and salary, but at the last minute TechTV's outgoing owner, Vulcan Ventures, insisted that I sign away all claims to shares they had given me some years ago. I was unwilling to do so, and they held my job as hostage.

My leaving has nothing to do whatever with G4 or Comcast. In fact, I'm very sorry that I won't be around to participate in the transition. I've already contacted G4 to let them know I'd be glad to continue working at the new channel once they take over and I hope that I'll get that chance...

1. I didn't know about this
I always liked him on that show. No offense to the Pat guy but the co-host before him was hilarious. I can't remember her name now.

4. Wasn't his weblink posted
I came back to the thread to go to his site and leave him a message asking him to take his gig to Air America. Alas no link so I'm off to Google.
