Turn Up the Dial, Leo Laporte’s Going National!

Well I may not have been the first person he emailed when he got the news like I had asked in our interview, but the news is here nonetheless.
Breaking the steadfast uncertainty on his blog this afternoon, Leo Laporte, known to his die-hard listeners as “The Tech Guy,” has officially announced that his KFI radio show is going national.
“I’m pleased to announce that Premiere Radio Networks – the biggest radio syndicator in the U.S. – has picked up my KFI radio show for syndication. We’re signing up affiliates now, so ask your local talk radio station to give Premiere a call. KFI listeners: the show will continue exactly as always. There just will be a few more people listening in,” he wrote in his blog posting.
A “few more people” listening in? He’s clearly a modest man. This syndication deal puts Leo’s show national and helps him continue to grow his tech-media dominance. In our interview last week, Leo expressed his hope to go national, saying he “felt confident it would happen.”
For those of you not yet listening, you can check out the show Saturdays and Sundays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST on the Premiere Radio Network.
