Tech News 2Night, or TN2 for short, is a netcast that gives a summary of the day's technology news stories since the morning broadcast of Tech News Today (TWiT's morning news show) and also covering the main news stories of the day. The netcast is one of many from the TWiT Network. The show premiered on January 13, 2014, and features guest journalists who report the news. It was originally hosted by a list of rotating co-anchors (listed below) for the first 20 episodes of the show.

History

Tech News 2Night was started by Lisa Kentzell (TWiT's CEO) and Leo Laporte who both wanted an evening version of Tech News Today that was more brief and gives a run down of the stories that were missed during the morning broadcast. They mentioned that they were starting an evening news show during the Inside TWiT episode for October 16, 2013. The show is hosted by Sarah Lane Mondays-Thursdays and Jason Howell on Fridays. Episode one of TN2 appeared on January 13, 2014. Tech News 2Night is shown through a live video feed along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows. All previous shows are archived at the show's website.

Format

The show is very similar to the show Tech News Today, featuring a discussion AbOUT a news story with a well-known journalist. Sometimes the guest will have written the story.

The show used to have rotating anchors running the show. However, this was quickly replaced in favor of "dividing and conquering" as Mike Elgan said at the end of Sarah Lane's last Tech News Today episode. Lane now is the one anchor that hosts the show. Before Lane took over the entire Tech News 2Night operation, the former host rotation was the following:
