Tech News Today & Tech News 2Night

Thank you all for your incredible support as we continue to make big improvements to our news operation.

 

We have decided to split TWiT’s two daily news shows between our two best news hosts.

 

Starting Tuesday, Tech News Today lead anchor Mike Elgan will be joined by guest co-hosts that will include the world’s leading technology journalists. 

 

Sarah Lane will take over as the anchor on Tech News 2Night, with other TWiT hosts filling in from time to time.

 

We are also working on the addition of stronger breaking news coverage on the air, the web, and social media.

 

Stay tuned! We’re very excited about the future of TWiT’s news coverage.

Tech News 2Night

Tech News 2Night is TWiT’s short, evening news program. Following our main news program six hours later, Tech News 2Night catches you up on the major tech stories that have emerged during the day (in Silicon Valley).

Tech News 2Night is short format--less than 10 minutes--and covers just a few major stories, plus a conversation with a notable expert that puts the events of the day in context.

The show has five rotating anchors, one for each day of the week: 

• Mike Elgan - TWiT’s news director and anchor of Tech News Today
• Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ - Host of This Week in Enterprise Tech, Know How and Coding 101
• Sarah Lane - Host of Tech News Today, The Social Hour, iPad Today, and iFive for the iPhone
• Jason Howell - Producer of Tech News Today and The Giz Wiz, host of All About Android
• Shannon Morse - Producer of Before You Buy, Coding 101, and Know How...

Hard-hitting, fast and thorough, Tech News 2Night will inform and entertain you without taking up a lot of your time.

Keep up on the day’s news every weekday. Watch Tech News 2Night LIVE every weekday at 4pm Pacific. You can check out the first episode and subscribe here.

Changes at TWiT, Part 3

We are disappointed to announce that Iyaz Akhtar has chosen to leave our network, but we are thrilled to continue Know How… with Father Robert Ballecer.

Father Robert has already booked a series of guest experts for Know How… beginning with the January 2nd episode, and we will continue to grow our “help and how-to” content on TWiT.

Because Father Robert is taking over Know How… while also launching our new programming show, Coding 101, Leo has decided to continue hosting Before You Buy on Tuesdays.

Stay tuned: Tech News Today re-launches on January 2nd with Mike Elgan and Sarah Lane, as well as additional contributors and guests; Coding 101 starts on January 9th with Father Robert Ballecer and Shannon Morse; and Tech News 2Night will debut on January 13th with Mike Elgan, Sarah Lane, Father Robert Ballecer, Jason Howell, and Shannon Morse.

Thank you all for your continued support, and we hope you'll enjoy what we have in store for you in 2014!

And don’t forget our 24-Hour Live New Year’s Eve broadcast, beginning at 4AM Pacific on Tuesday, December 31st. You can watch and listen live at http://live.twit.tv/
