The Tech Report
|
|
Silicon Valley is home to hundreds of interesting, buzz-worthy stories that get squeezed out of the business segment on 1590 KLIV, to make room for earnings reports, mergers and acquisitions and SEC filings -- stories that move the markets.
The goal of the Tech Report is to examine the smaller stories that you and your co-workers will end up talking about over the watercooler today. The report broadcasts on 1590 KLIV at 9:19, 12:19 and 2:19 each day, and is available for download here 24/7.
