Today on CNET

Today on CNET consists of a short clip, usually filmed in or around the CNET Headquaters, usually hosted by the most prominent of the hosts on CNET TV (although that streak has been broken with Today on CNET hosted by the cast of The 404 [a podcast on CNET] , and it's sometimes hosted by editors and reviewers like Donald Bell). It features the host telling the viewer about the most interesting or entertaining things new to CNET TV on the playlist each day.

The Buzz Report

The Buzz Report is a weekly show (released each Friday) that is hosted by Molly Wood, with Brian Cooley filling in when Molly is unavailable to perform her duties. Brian Cooley filled in each show for a few weeks when Molly was taking care of her newborn baby. It consists of a segment called "The Gadget of The Week", where Molly showcases a new piece of technology each show. Following "The Gadget of The Week" is the news, where Molly reads the most important technology news stories of that week. Three segments have been added recently: "Clogging the Tubes" showcases a big story that many people are talking about and could potentially be an industry-changer. Another segment is named "What the Hell? With Brian Cooley" where Brian Cooley talks about something he finds to be so outrageous that he'd respond: What the Hell?. The most recently added segment on The Buzz Report is "CeWEBrity Deathmatch", where Molly and "the Commentator" Brian Tong will discuss a recent feud that has started among powerful technology or internet figures. Usually, not all segments are shown on each webcast. In fact, sometimes "The Gadget of The Week" and the news are all that the show consists of, probably due to time constraints.

CNET Live

CNET Live is a show on CNET that is broadcast live over the internet each Thursday at 1:00 PM Pacific Time and 4:00 PM Eastern Time. In other words, it's live in all United States time zones. The usual hosts are Brian Cooley and Tom Merritt. Brian and Tom talk about their favorite tech stories from CNET.com. They also take calls from people who want help with technology, one of the benefits of having the show live. Each week, they also have an interview with someone that is important in the technology world. It is speculated that CNET Live is derived from the CNET Holiday Helpdesk, a show that is broadcast live over the internet during the holidays, helping callers and viewers find gifts.

CNET Mailbag

CNET Mailbag is a show hosted by Molly Wood showcasing feedback, comments, and questions sent to CNET by mail and E-Mail, along with Molly Wood's and CNET's responses to the sent items. It's a weekly show, usually showing up each Wednesday. For about two shows, it was an "every-other-week" show, so Molly Wood would have more time to do Insider Secrets videos, and Quick Tips videos. Fans of the show protested for the show to become weekly again, and CNET gave in. But, in order to make it daily, Molly Wood's other show: Today in Tech History, had to be cancelled in order for Molly to have time to film Mailbag each week.
