UndoTV is a proposed web venture being devised by former TechTV personalities Chris Pirillo and Leo Laporte. UndoTV is a portal that will centralize internet multimedia content that is being produced by former TechTV talent, and also by producers of other technology-related content.
The idea for UndoTV came from the planning of a TechTV reunion broadcast.
Chris Pirillo gave many reasons for creating UndoTV.
- Some former TechTV talent are no longer producing tech content.
- We're (UndoTV) undoing TechTV's untimely and unwarranted demise.
- The television industry is changing, and we're (UndoTV) all helping "undo" it.
- There are few preconceived notions with the word "undo."
- The CTRL+Z reference is geeky enough, but it doesn't turn off non-geeks.
- The appropriate domains were available.
- Informal reactions to the "UndoTV" name were positive.
- All TechTV/ZDTV fans will find us (UndoTV), no matter what we call it.

- Draft a unique logo
- Prep the site structure
- Locate smart sponsors
- Contact interested talent
- Solicit community feedback
- Identify organizational needs
- Define necessary roles
- Flesh out legal structure
