-- Tech show heads south of the border to meet international audience demand --
Call for Help, the first Canadian-produced G4techTV Canada television production, is heading south of the border and back into the homes of American fans. Call for Help airs at 6:00 p.m. ET and 9:00 p.m. PT weeknights on G4techTV Canada and will begin broadcasting in September on G4, the national cable and satellite network available in 53 million homes in the United States.
This is the second international sale in less than a year of the Call for Help series. Recently, Australia's HOW TO Channel began airing the popular Canadian program to phenomenal fan response.
"We saw a great opportunity in Call for Help when we approached Leo about a Canadian production of the program," explains Tom Ayley, General Manager, G4techTV Canada. "After just one year of Canadian production and broadcasting, there has been a build up of interest south of the border and internationally. Many of our fan inquiries about accessing the show originate in the United States and elsewhere."
Call for Help, is hosted by award-winning technology journalist and author Leo Laporte and Canadian technology experts Amber MacArthur and Andy Walker with several guest-hosts including Kevin Rose formerly of Screen Savers (Attack of the Show). Call for Help is designed to help viewers, from the tech savvy to the novice, get the most out of their technology and keep up-to-date on the latest technology news and products. The Canadian program is modeled after the show Laporte originally hosted for six years on G4 in the United States.
"Our reentry to the USA is due in part to all the fans that kept in touch and visited the Call for Help website," said Leo. "We are excited that G4 is bringing Call for Help back to our American fans who have supported the show for so long. With limited technology programming available, G4techTV Canada is really one of the last stations with a solid commitment to technology-focused programming."
Calls and emails are received from fans in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia and elsewhere. The Call for Help website www.callforhelp.ca) receives nearly 200,000 unique visits per day. In addition, Call for Help has recently launched a new site. The site will include a detailed summary of all viewer calls along with the daily downloads and other tech tips.
Viewers can submit their questions to Leo by visiting http://www.callforhelp.ca/ and filling out an email information form.
