Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV
FPCat writes "Comcast has purchased TechTV. They plan to merge the station with G4. Maybe they'll stop showing Robot Wars and put some decent shows on instead. In either case, with Leo Laporte no longer hosting The Screen Savers, I expect big changes on the station..." (Of course, at this point they've only agreed to buy.)
Yes, because as we all know, Comcast means Quality.

Perhaps well soon see Super-X-killerBOT agaist Mickey Mouse Show.
Anybody else have a weird feeling that Comcast is trying to buy out the entire world....
Why yes... we are....
Anyways... how much for your house and family??
I have some lineup show ideas.... 1) On Macs 2) Chicks of teck world 3) On open source 4) Hot chicks of the tech world in bathing suits 5) Cool new toys 6) Hot chicks of the tech world in bathing suits showing off cool new tech toys 7) A show of extreme dating meets tech folks (with hot chicks only) .....
Evolution or ID?
Let Adam Sessler be next to go!
Some explanation to the Disney bid! I couldn't figure out why Comcast wanted a somewhat-struggling content provider in their portfolio, but now I see that They (as in MS) were looking for that key 3-12 year-old demographic.

Heck I would love a station that shows different algorithms, or different ways to do things in different languages.
The problem is no one else would.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
... is that what you get on the other cable - next to the one going to my cable modem?
Shatner, your agent called, something about a margarine commercial.
Save Maine's economy: write stuff down. All comments are exclusively my own, not my employer.
Yes, yes, and yes! It will be called: Whipped Cream Panties, Linux, and You.
I also reply below your current threshold.
I for one welcome our new Comcast overlords!
I't "FAB" with me

jeez - I can't even remember what it was called before X-play
Extended Play. I really enjoyed the promo that had Adam Sessler punching and dodging in a side-scroller, the camera pulling back to reveal Kate at the joystick of a cabinet.
Why in God's name would you want to read news and view clips of other people playing games when you could be playing them yourself?
Good point! Let's extend this further! Why would you want to read news and view clip of other people playing football/basketball/baseball when you could be playing them yourselves? That's why shows like ESPN will never catch on.

You know I don't get it. Here is a company that cann afford to pay cash for Disney, but they cannot get my billing account and my ISP login synchonized so that I do not have to use two different login names and passwords.

I'd watch a show showing a shark killing an interior decorator
$50 for the wife. The kids are free.
I haven't watched TechTV for the last two years and was shocked when I saw their new "lineup"!
Every single show had girls with big breasts that were prominently displayed. Girls with smaller breasts looked like they were stuffing and wearing push-up bras.
I guess they misunderstood new management's directive to "keep abreast of science and technology"
