G4TechTV Announced
Str8Dog writes "Looks like Comcast has made its plans for the G4 / Tech TV merger public via, G4TechTV.com. The FAQ page list the shows that will be surviving the merger. Call For Help seems to have received the axe. No word is given if the casts will remain the same."
They've combined two things I'd never watch into one convenient, easy-to-avoid program.
Seriously, besides the terrible but funny things I've heard about G4, I've never seen it and never really heard of TechTV either. Why would I watch TV when I've got the real thing?
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
techTV just seems so... i don't know, it's hard to say. it seems like it's geared towards people who aren't 100% up to speed on tech stuff (it's no /.) -- but it also has this whole coke-fueled-programming-creation vibe to it. it just has so much stuff that is really corny / out-of-date / etc.
I mean, I would kind of like to see a TV channel like WIRED magazine. Sure, it's not always the best read, and sometimes its just as corny/yuppy, but at least they do a good job and make it interesting.
