As Cringely, Stephens produced and hosted an Internet television show called "NerdTV" (2005–06) for PBS and, until late 2008, wrote an online column for the PBS website called "I, Cringely: The Pulpit". On November 14, 2008, Stephens announced that he would stop contributing columns to PBS as of that December 15. He indicated that the move was his own decision "and not that of PBS, which has been nothing but good to me these many years". He also blogged for the Technology Evangelist site during 2007.
