No more Leo on TechTV

Leo Laporte, of TechTV fame, said last Friday in his blog that he no longer works there. That's a real bummer. Sounds like the former owners (they were just bought by Comcast) tried to hold his earned shares hostage if he didn't agree to a better contract.

I have to admit that at times he'd get on my nerves because he wouldn't always let people just talk. Aside from that though, he is credible, personable and obviously loves technology. He is the real thing, and the only true “TV star” on that network.

Hopefully when Comcast has set up shop, they'll realize the network needs him. Or they'll decide to make it Morgan Webb 24/7, which would also be OK.
