G4
(( Thread started: February 7th, 2010, 11:24 PM ))

Woah. I just realized that G4 was originally owned by Insight, which is a company that provides phone, internet and cable and was started very close to where I live in Kentucky and still operates there. It only provides service to people in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. So G4 was started by one of my local companies. Now I think it's fully owned by Comcast, though.

Anyway, that's not the main reason I started this thread. G4's gone for me, it doesn't exist anymore. Did it finally go under after they spent all that time running it into the ground?

I haven't checked yet, but fuck that channel. It's been dead to me ever since X-Play started sucking.

Yeah. After the Tech TV acquisition they fucked everything up, got rid of most of the good shows, started playing ridiculous bullshit like Cops and Star Trek, and finally even managed to ruin X-Play. It's sad. What really fucked it was when Neal Tiles replaced Charles Hirschhorn as the president.

I hated how they just abandoned the fans like that and started using shows not even remotely close to tech or video games, like Cops. Seriously, fuck Cops.

Yep. It's funny because the original president of G4's vision was to make the channel like the original MTV was, except for video games, and the channel did end up becoming like MTV...except like the modern MTV, which has no relation to its subject, not the original one.

I have it. I watch AotS every now and then.

Also the first time I saw Fight Club was on G4.

Yea its still around, I never watched it even when it was good back in the day. I played enough video games that I never wanted to watch a show about them, ALTHOUGH OCCASIONALLY I saw some X-play footage of Tsquared (Halo 3 Pro Player).
