Leo Laporte's hit consumer technology show Call for Help returns to U.S. through online video

    TORONTO, June 13 /PRNewswire/ - G4techTV Canada is pleased to announce
 that U.S. technology fans of the internationally-followed show Call for
 Help can now access past, present and future episodes on Google Video
 (http://video.google.com) effective June 13th, 2006.
     More than 50 hours of Call for Help episodes will be available with new
 episodes to be added shortly after they air. The Canadian program features
 award-winning technology journalist and author Leo Laporte and is modeled
 after the show Laporte originally hosted for six years on G4 (formerly
 G4techTV) in the United States.
     Call for Help is co-hosted by Canadian web and technology expert Amber
 MacArthur. The daily one hour show 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 show also
 features responses to viewer calls and viewer e-mails as well as product
 demonstrations, fun tech tidbits, breakdowns of tech jargon.
     "I am thrilled that our U.S. fans can access Call for Help again
 through our new relationship with Google Video," says Leo Laporte. "So many
 of our American fans kept in touch and visited the Call for Help website
 after the show started airing in Canada two years ago. Online videos are
 extremely popular and the move towards video on demand is an important
 trend, so it is only fitting that Call for Help can now be found on Google
 Video."
     Call for Help is produced in Toronto and is a fan favorite on G4techTV
 Canada. Australia's HOW TO Channel began airing the popular Canadian
 program in 2005 to phenomenal fan response. More Call for Help details and
 episode information are available on the show's website,
