2016 Programming Changes

As we head into the new year and start the process of building our new studio, we will be making a few changes to our programming schedule.

Starting January 4, 2016, Know How is expanding to two episodes per week! One episode will be recorded offline and released on Mondays at 3PM, and the other episode will record live on Thursdays at 11AM. Monday’s Know How will be dedicated to lighter builds, tech reviews, and solutions for common tech problems, while Thursday’s show will focus on more involved projects and maker segments.

With the expansion of Know How, the show will also include coding tricks and projects, and we are canceling Coding 101 with its last episode to release on December 21, 2015. Father Robert Ballecer’s co-host Louis Maresca will still make regular appearances on Know How and This Week in Enterprise Tech, and we are excited that he will be staying on our network.

With Megan Morrone and Jason Howell taking over Tech News Today, we have decided that it’s time to merge our two daily news shows. With this merger our single daily news show will be called Tech News Today recording at 4PM each weekday, starting on January 4, 2016.

With the evolution of iPad Today into iOS Today, we are going to fold the content covered in iFive for the iPhone into this show. We will release the final episode of iFive for the iPhone today (December 16, 2015).

Before You Buy will also release its last episode on December 18, 2015. After careful consideration we have decided to fold marquee product reviews into The New Screen Savers and review relevant products on shows like MacBreak Weekly, Windows Weekly, All About Android, iOS Today, etc. To follow all of our reviews on YouTube, be sure to subscribe to the TWiT YouTube Channel and "save" TWiT Product Reviews & Picks to your playlists.

Lastly, we are increasing our presence at marquee tech events, conferences, and shows for 2016. We will be covering CES in Las Vegas (January 6-9); Developerweek in San Francisco (February 12-18); Mobile World Congress (February 22-25); SXSW (March 11-15); and more to be announced in 2016!

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.

Be a part of Tech News Today this holiday season!

The folks at Tech News Today will be AFK (Away From Kottage) during the week of December 27-31 in observance of the Christmas/New Years holiday. But that doesn't mean there won't be new episodes of TNT! Though won't be there every day to recount the daily tech news, we're getting a little creative, and we need your help! There are a couple of ways you can take part in the holiday episodes to help fill the void:

Best Of TNT:

Do you remember a moment or discussion from the show that stands out as one of the best/funniest/punniest/awkward moments since TNT began on June 1, 2010? Visit http://twit.tv/bestof and let us know which moments are your favorites! Might I suggest using the TNT playlist on YouTube for fast and easy viewing? Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, December 15.

Open Mic:

How would you like to join the TNT folks via Skype for an episode? We will select three folks to join us on an episode that is all about YOU! We'll bring you into the show complete with Skype video and don't forget to set aside your favorite tech story of 2010 because we'll want to talk to you about it! The episode will be recorded on Monday, December 20, from 12-1pm PT so you MUST be available during that time in order to be considered. Here's what you do:

1. Send an email to tnt@twit.tv (subject: Open Mic).
2. List your name, skype ID, and a little bit about yourself and why you would like to be considered.
3. Confirm that you WILL be available for the recording time of Monday, December 20, from 12-1pm PT, if selected.
4. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, December 15. We will contact those who have been selected by Friday, December 17.

Dancing with the TNT stars:

In the interest of focusing your awesome efforts, we are redacting this idea. Let's face it. The last thing you want to do is dance in front of a camera. Unless you're playing the Kinect.
