Jessica Corbin and Patrick Norton, the hosts of Tekzilla, will serve as hands-on expert guides for viewers that want to make technology work harder for them.
“If you love gear, gadgets and technology, you’ll love Tekzilla,” said Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3. “Our show gives you the inside scoop on the latest and greatest products, people and places. Patrick and Jessica are respected experts that bring technology alive in a fun and engaging way.
