[edit] Today on CNET
Today on CNET consists of a short clip, usually filmed in or around the CNET Headquarters, 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.

Click (previously Click Online) is a weekly BBC television programme covering news and recent developments in the world of consumer technology, presented by Spencer Kelly.

There are three editions of the programme, including two 30-minute programmes: the first is produced for a UK audience and shown on BBC News, the second is produced for a global audience, aired on BBC World News, usually identical with a commercial break in the middle. The 15-minute version is shown on BBC One and BBC News during BBC Breakfast (at the weekend).

Thursday 29 December 2005 marked the last edition of Click Online, as the show was previously known. This coincided with the departure of presenter Stephen Cole after 295 shows. The programme was rebranded with new music and titles and now concentrates more on consumer issues, and not necessarily the internet or what users can do or visit "online".

The current presenter of Click is Spencer Kelly who had already been a reporter and producer on the show, and also compiled reports for The Gadget Show on Five. Kate Russell introduces featured websites in the weekly Webscape segment.

Previous presenters of the show include Stephen Cole who left the BBC to work for Al Jazeera International.

With the departure of Stephen Cole, Rob Freeman is the last remaining on-screen member of the original Click Online team. Responsible for starting the Webscape segment, he currently answers viewers technical questions. Other journalists occasionally present segments of the programme, brief biographies of whom can be found on the Click website.
