줄거리

GetConnected or GC for short, is a Canadian television and radio show featuring technology for consumers and small businesses, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The GetConnected Television Show is hosted by Mike Agerbo and AJ Vickery, along with contributing host Andy Baryer, and correspondents Alyssa Dawson, Tristan Jutras and Graham Williams. It was named after the radio show of the same name. Each episode features "How To" segments where hosts offer practical advice and demonstrations on using technology, "Tech Look" segments where hosts review and offer opinions on current technology products, and "Tech Talk" segments where hosts chat with industry experts. Past co-hosts include Canadian tech personalities Yolande Lougheed and Lindsay Smith. The current core production team consists of Andy Baryer, along with Director / Line Producer Allan Hattori, Director of Photography Wes Wetanko, Supervising Producer Tristan Jutras, and Post-Production Supervisor Paul Gill. The show was nominated for a 2011 Leo Award for ‘Best Information or Lifestyle Series'.

The GetConnected Radio Show is hosted by Mike Agerbo and AJ Vickery, and produced by Andy Baryer, who also frequently co-hosts. The show features technology-related interviews and live call-in segments, and airs every Saturday on the Corus Entertainment Network. Prior to 2005, it was known as The Computer Show, and before that, Chalk Talk. It was renamed GetConnected to tie into the Dave Chalk Connected TV show that Agerbo co-hosted at the time, and to more accurately reflect the show's broadening scope, which included not just computers, but consumer electronics as well. The radio show was produced and co-hosted by Tristan Jutras from 2005 to 2006, who now acts as Supervising Producer and occasional host of both the TV and radio shows, as well as online video correspondent along with Baryer. Past regular contributors include tech experts Jason Gibson, formerly of the Geek Squad, Carlos Aparicio of London Drugs and Yolande Lougheed.
