UndoTV is TechTV Uncancelled

I used to watch TechTV all the time back when Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo were common sites on the network, when G4 took over the channel, and basically took all the tech from the shows, I wondered if I would ever see my fun and interesting cast back in video form again.

UndoTV looks like it will be that chariot, bringing back Chris Pirillo and Leo Laporte to video.

"We're undoing TechTV's untimely and unwarranted demise," Pirillo wrote in an e-mail to Wired News.

Pirillo and LaPorte hope to attract a sponsor and begin producing original content, but for now will let the site evolve from the ground up. Contributors will keep 100 percent control of the content they provide to the site, Pirillo wrote.
"The most difficult hurdle has already been overcome, in my opinion: we have an audience that is not being served effectively," Pirillo wrote. "Leo and I have identified a potential platform to begin publishing through, but an actual launch date is still in the air."

No word yet on how the whole project is going to evolve or who is going to invest in creating the content, but I can tell you this much, I will be watching.
