one lonely success

I was shocked to read last night on Chris Pirillo’s blog that he was leaving TechTV and his show Call for Help. Chris’ message on his blog (which has been taken down and now forwards to Lockergnome) was short and sweet…stating only that he was leaving TechTV for greener pastures.

The plot thickened a few hours later when fellow TechTV personality, Leo Laporte posted on his blog that he was returning to the show he made popular before Chris’ arrival at TechTV. According to Leo’s post this was all good news and that Chris was leaving on his accord and headed to bigger and better things. However, according to Gretchen Pirillo’s blog (Chris’ wife) things might not be so rosy. In her own words, you don’t go into work one day not expecting to go in the next.

I can’t help but think that the powers that be at TechTV are playing games here.

I for one love Leo and will enjoy his future work on CFH, however, Chris is an incredible talent and brought diversity to a network that is quickly becoming one-dimensional.

UPDATE: As of 9am this morning, Chris’ blog is once again up and running.
