Good morning! Another sleepless night. I wonder if things would be different if I had a lawyer or agent negotiating for me. Probably not - I like to be in direct control. I tried a lawyer last year and after spending nearly $5000 had nothing to show for it.
I know this sounds Pollyanna-ish but my biggest concern is protecting my viewers in the "new" TechTV. I don't want production razzle-dazzle to overshadow the content. I feel it is already, to some degree. It's selfish, really. I know better than to believe they watch because of my raffish wit and dashing good looks. It's the content, stupid! Without that it's just another cnet central. No one will watch that and I don't want to be a part of it. Sometimes, I just wonder if managment can tell the difference.

Don't see yourself short, Leo. Sure the content was great, but it takes the right host(s) to make it a show and you and your team definitely did that. As for the razzle-dazzle, ZDTV was fine. As you saw, it wasn't until TechTV that things went crazy.
