GetConnected or GC for short, is a television and radio show featuring technology for consumers and small businesses, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The GetConnected Television Show is hosted by Mike Agerbo, AJ Vickery and Andy Baryer. It was named after the radio show of the same name. Each episode features segments where hosts offer practical advice and demonstrations on using technology, "Tech Look" segments where hosts review and offer opinions on current technology products, and "Tech Talk" segments where hosts chat with industry experts. Past co-hosts include Canadian tech personalities such as show Writer Graham Williams, Tasia Custode, Supervising Producer Tristan Jutras, Yolande Lougheed, Lindsay Smith and Alyssa Dawson. The current core production team consists of Andy Baryer and Associate Producer Sherry Yu along with Director/Producer Paul Gill and Director of Photography Wes Wetanko. The show has a number of 'Information or Lifestyle Series' Leo Award nominations to its name: in 2011 for ‘Best Program',[1] in 2012 for Best Program, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Hosts,[2] and in 2013 for ‘Best Screenwriting'.[3]

The GetConnected Radio Show is hosted by Mike Agerbo, and co-hosted and produced by Andy Baryer, with AJ Vickery and Kristina Stoyanova acting as occasional fill-in hosts. The show features technology-related interviews and live call-in segments, and airs every Saturday on the Corus Entertainment Network. Prior to 2005, it was known as The Computer Show, and before that, Chalk Talk (named after the show's founder, Dave Chalk). It was renamed GetConnected to tie into the Dave Chalk Connected TV show that Agerbo co-hosted at the time, and to more accurately reflect the show's broadening scope, which included not just computers, but consumer electronics as well. The radio show was produced and co-hosted by Tristan Jutras from 2005 to 2006. Past regular contributors include tech experts Jason Gibson, formerly of the Geek Squad, Carlos Aparicio of London Drugs and Yolande Lougheed.

From Spring 2008 to Fall 2009, the shows were supported by a magazine, distributed in Canada's The Globe and Mail newspaper and also available in London Drugs computer departments in BC.
