Comcast Fires TechTV Staff

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-one-left-to-save-the-screens dept.

Bocaj writes "Looks like it's curtains for TechTV staff. A Leo Laporte article says that Comcast has let the entire staff go. 'Per the WARN Act (governing plant closings) all the employees of TechTV have been given 60 days notice. The San Francisco operation will be shuttered by July. 100 of the existing jobs will be posted for those willing to relocate to LA.' No word on what will happen to all the shows or the channel."

  1. How can TechTV loose to G4? by branchingfactor · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's incredible that TechTV looses to G4. G4 has the lamest content I've ever seen, a bunch of loosers playing video games. Not reviewing, just PLAYING. Who wants to watch other people playing video games??? How lame is that. It's worse than QVC, worse than infomercials. Charles Hirschhorn (the G4 CEO) sure snookered Brian Roberts (the COMCAST CEO) good.
