Shareware Report misses TechTV

Tech columnists Bill Dubie and Dave Sciuto, formerly of The Computer Report radio show in Boston, write:

"We miss the good ol’ days of the TechTV cable channel. Since G4TV has absorbed our favorite network, it’s been sullied by fanboys and oh-so-hip under-30 personalities. Give us the down-and-dirty telepresence of tech veterans Leo LaPorte, “Cranky Geek” John C. Dvorak, Kevin Rose and Patrick Norton. Heck, we’d even take Martin Sargent."

Of course, on the video front, they can all be seen online now in various forms. "The Lab with Leo Laporte" posts guest segments to Google Video, John C. Dvorak has Cranky Geeks, and Kevin is on Diggnation. And if you'd even settle for Martin Sargent, check out "Web Drifter." Also, Patrick is on Tekzilla.

I so miss TechTv. Luckily here in Canada we get the Lab and CNet Tv. Those are the only two shows I watch. Ok, I'll put on Attack of the show, but I'm just watching Olivia Munn. Sometimes I'll watch X-Play since that's the only TechTv show still on there.

Thank you Geeklinks. I would have included them but they were not referred to in the original article. There are a number of other TechTV alumna as well that can be found in media distributed online.

X-Play really does not excite me as much as it used to. Granted it is probably the closest to a gaming magazine that television will ever see for the foreseeable future, being one of a kind is a blessing and a curse.
