Before Apple live streamed their press events, Leo Laporte live-streamed a segment of the 2010 Apple event while at the event. There were no indications that this was against the rules nor was he asked to stop the steaming, but since the event Leo has not been invited to any future gatherings.

Leo has publicly apologized and pleaded to be a part of the 2017 Apple event being held at the new Steve Jobs Park, although Apple has let him and his fans down by their lack of a response. Leo Laporte is a technology broadcaster and host on Twit.tv and on a national radio show. Help show your support for Leo. It's time for Apple to let go of the past and let Leo be part of what will surely be a memorable event.
