Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV

Posted by timothy on from the big-business dept.

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.)

    With the Frustration game, I don't know if you have anything to do with it or if you just enjoy it, but...It is too US-centric for me to play. According to the rules, the first X questions are easy and 'anyone should be able to get them', then the questions actually get interesting and difficult. That's fantastic, except for the fact that I have no idea about American sports team name, and they seem to be the primary focus of the earlier questions. Nor do I know US state abbreviations, I can guess based on the initials of the state, but...

    So anyway, my point is that if a non-US person starts taking this test, your results are going to get skewed, and non-US people aren't going to enjoy it at all. I was intrigued by the idea, but disappointed with the reality.
