Geeks rejoice! Leo Laporte will now be heard on XM Satellite Radio's Extreme XM (ch 152) starting this last weekend.
"Leo Laporte: The Tech Guy" - a fairly new radio show hosted by the TWiT host, former TechTV superstar and all-around geek extraordinaire - can be heard on Saturdays and Sundays from 2-5pm ET, with replays on the weekends at 8-11pm.
(Did XM listen to my plea for more tech-centric programming? Doubtful, probably just one of those crazy coincidences again. Either way, great news.)

Thanks Don!
UPDATE: Looks like Leo Laporte's show actually aired last weekend. The great folks over at XM411 have the scoop.
Digg It!

This is great because I used to watch on on Tech TV like every day, so it might be something interesting to listen to.
I do however seem to remember a recent video of Leo Laporte saying satellite radio sucks or something to the effect that he doesn't like it.

Great. Now give Lazlow a regular gig.

I made this exact plea on XM's website about a month ago.
Thank you XM for listening.
This is awesome.

Leo's show actually began last weekend. I should know, it's on my Inno.
The Tech Guy is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, so Clear Channel decided to add it to 152, which is a channel they program. And in their typical way, they didn't tell a soul, so Leo had a dead silent debut.

Wow finally a tech show worth listening to! The David Lawerence show doesn't even compare. Is it going to be called TWIT or something else?

It's just called The Tech Guy. It's ran on KFI for a few years and is now syndicated. Podcasts are available at http://www.twit.tv/KFI .

I figured it would go on there anyways. Clear Channel controls Extreme, Talk Radio, Sunny, Mix, Kiss, and another channel or so. Also constant e-mails to sunnyxm@clearchannel.com works too. Leo's show is distributed by Premiere Radio Networks, a CC subsidiary.
