What the Tech?

Technology news is essential information

A general manager once stressed to our newsroom the importance of being “essential to the viewer”.  Give them a reason to tune in every night. News they won’t see anywhere else. Information they can use. And from people they can trust. That’s “What the Tech?” in a nutshell. 

I’ve carried that with me for more than 30 years and it’s the foundation of “What the Tech?” Every newsroom covers tech to some extent but is there a reporter in your market who only covers tech? Is there another TV station in your market with a dedicated expert reporter on the tech beat? profile photo

Here’s what “What the Tech?” can do for your viewers, your newscasts, OTT properties, and website:
