Sarah Lane and New Beginnings

Happy New Year! As you may have heard, Sarah Lane has accepted a full-time position at TechCrunch, as its Executive Producer of Video. We’re very excited for Sarah about this opportunity, even though it means we’ll be seeing less of her on TWiT.

However, she’s not leaving us entirely: Sarah will continue to co-host "iPad Today" for the foreseeable future. She will also continue to host "iFive for the iPhone" until the end of this month, and we’ll have an update soon about its new host.

As for "Tech News 2Night:" Stay tuned for this afternoon’s "InsideTWiT," where Leo and I will have an announcement about a familiar face that is joining our team to host the show, starting next week!

Coding 101 Update

A big thank you to everyone for their support of Coding 101, because without our fans it would not exist. A show about programming has always been a part of our vision for TWiT, and starting this week we are making changes to the format of the show.

Instead of focusing on teaching code and jumping from one language to the next, we will be interviewing developers/programmers/coders and taking a deeper dive into their work. We plan to cover everything from coding to programming philosophy and plan to integrate more projects on the show.

With this shift in focus, Shannon Morse is leaving Coding 101, but she is not leaving our network. I am happy to announce that Shannon will be returning as a contributor to Before You Buy with weekly product reviews. While I know that Shannon is very busy with her work outside our network, we are looking forward to keeping her presence on TWiT.

Stay tuned as we continue to improve our existing shows and announce new ones!
