WebTalkGuys Radio Newsletter for February 6, 2003

Well, CNET Radio bid farewell to their listeners on January 31. We joined their lineup in 2001 and enjoyed being part of the CNET family. In the aftermath, we’ve seen an increase in visitors to our website since the day CNET Radio stopped broadcasting. If you first heard us on CNET Radio – even though we’ve been broadcasting longer than they have – thank you for making the transition over to our website. We’re continuing to be one of the few remaining radio shows bringing you tech and digital lifestyle content every week.
