The network began operation in April 2005 with the launch of This Week in Tech. Security Now was the second podcast on the network, debuting in August of that year. Currently, the network hosts 13 podcasts and live streaming shows from a network high of 27 in 2014. Podcasts including The Tech Guy, This Week in Tech, Security Now, FLOSS Weekly, MacBreak Weekly, and eight other podcasts covering various topics including technology companies, Ham Radio and current technology news.[1] TWiT founder and owner Laporte, in an October 2009 speech, stated that it grossed revenues of $1.5 million per year, while costs were around $350,000.[2] In November 2014, during an interview with American Public Media's Marketplace Leo Laporte stated that TWiT makes $6 million in ad revenue a year from 5 million TWiT podcasts downloaded each month, mostly in the form of audio, and that 3,000 to 4,000 people watch its live-streamed shows.[3] On March 18, 2015, prior to the filming of This Week in Google, Leo Laporte stated that TWiT expects to make $7 million in revenue in fiscal year 2015, and made "almost" $10 million in revenue in 2016.[4] TWiT gets its name from its first and flagship podcast, This Week in Tech. The logo design originated from a traditional logic gate symbol of an "AND gate" turned on its side. Voiceovers are provided by Jim Cutler.[5] Programming {{anchor|Current netcasts}}{{POV-section|date=April 2018}}TWiT's netcasts are centered around technology and technology news. Hosts of the shows are usually experts in certain fields, either by working in the field itself or by being a journalist covering the field. At the beginning of 2014, there were 27 podcasts produced by TWiT,[6] but that was cut to only 22 shows in 2015.[6] Giz Wiz, Marketing Mavericks and Padre's Corner were among the shows that were cancelled during the year. The New Screen Savers was the only new show added to the network in 2015, a show based on The Screen Savers, an American TV show that aired on TechTV from 1998 to 2005.[7] On December 22, 2018, it was announced that the show ceased production. TWiT further cut their field of self-produced shows by nearly twenty percent in late 2015. Among the shows cut were Coding 101, which was replaced with a second weekly episode of Know How. iFive for the iPhone was cancelled, with some of that content being folded into iOS Today. Before You Buy was also dropped, with its last episode being produced on December 18, 2015. With the departure of news director Mike Elgan in December 2015, TWiT also cancelled Tech News 2Night. Hosts Megan Morrone and Jason Howell took over Tech News Today on a daily basis at 4PM each weekday, starting on January 4, 2016.[8] No new news director has been named. Nathan Olivarez-Giles was brought in as a co-host and producer in March 2017[9], with the prospect of developing new shows including an automotive-related podcast[10]. By July, no new shows were developed, and Olivarez-Giles was unceremoniously dropped from the network. Editor Tony Wang, TD Kara Kohl, producer Tonya Hall[11]{{rs|date=April 2018}} and on-air talent Bryan Burnett[12] were also let go over the summer of 2017. In May 2017, Android App Arena was also dropped.[13] In October 2017, Home Theater Geeks was canceled and Know How was changed to a weekly show. Tech News Today was renamed Tech News Weekly and was changed from a daily to a weekly show.[14]As 2018 came to a close, the network announced that three more TWiT.tv shows- Know How, This Week in Law, and The New Screen Savers- were all dropped from production. Know How was a two-episode a week podcast that was cut to a single episode a week show in 2017.[15][16] With these cuts, TWiT.tv's weekly production schedule is down to thirteen show a week, with podcast production now limited to five days a week.[17] On the Saturday January 5, 2019 installment of the Tech Guy Radio Show, host Leo LaPorte promised new shows in development for this year, though he declined to provide any specific titles or topics. In mid-January, Twit leaked the new show will be called Hands On Tech, and will feature fresh hosted content around content reused from other shows on the network.[18] DescriptionAll the shows are available free to watch or download from the TWiT.tv website and are funded by cost per mille embedded sponsorship.[19] Most of the shows are livestreamed from the TWiT studio in Petaluma, California. TWiT's servers host the network's chat rooms using the Internet Relay Chat.[20] LitigationIn May 2017, Twitter announced that it would deliver original video content on its platform. Lawyers from TWiT believed this violated a spoken agreement between Leo Laporte and Twitter co-founder Evan Williams made in 2009, and infringed on TWiT's trademark. TWiT tried to informally resolve the trademark issue, and in January 2018 filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Twitter.[21] In March 2018 Twitter filed a motion to dismiss[22]. On May 30, 2018, US Magistrate Judge Jaqueline Scott Corley granted Twitters' motion to dismiss the case. The judge found that TWIT's discussions with Twitter "do not support a plausible inference that Twitter agreed to never offer audio or video content under the Twitter brand." [23] Awards
