AltTV, formally ControlAltTV and Control Alt Delete, was founded in  August 2005 by three people that wanted to show others their technology  experiences. Podcasting was a new medium that was taking off and we  wanted to get in on the action. Hurricane Katrina changed our initial  plans and instead of hosting a podcast about technology-related news, we  were a blog posting news bites from New Orleans media outlets like  WWL-TV and WDSU-TV.

Several months after the storm passed, we tried to regroup and  attempt the podcast again. Scheduling conflicts, commitment to the site  and dealing with the effects of Katrina were the main reasons we shelved  the site in 2006.

In 2007, we relaunched the site. From 2007 to today, the website went through several changes including a new name – AltTV.

AltTV is dedicated to covering the technology and media sector in the  gulf coast region. We also cover start-ups in the region as well.
