E! pwns G4
Comcast, the parent company of both G4 and E! Networks, is consolidating shop and moving the gaming-themed channel into the entertainment TV network's camp. Snip from TVWeek article:

E! and Style chief Ted Harbert has been given the newly created title of CEO, Comcast Entertainment Group. He will continue to report to Comcast Programming Group President Jeff Shell. G4 President Neal Tiles, who joined the network in September 2005, will now report to Mr. Harbert. G4's executive staff will move into E!'s Los Angeles offices. Sources said layoffs among the G4 staff are likely, though Mr. Harbert said it's too soon to tell.

"When there is consolidation, if we find there's overlap in administrative and support positions, we'll have tough calls to make," he said. "But we haven't looked at that yet." Mr. Harbert said he has not yet decided whether G4's Santa Monica production facilities will move as well. "They're shooting shows in very expensive space, but we're already maxed out at this building," he said. "I don't know what the answer is, but nothing will happen for a while."

I never really liked that channel anyways!!.....atleast not since the tech tv days!!!!

G4 totally blows now, there's hardly anything game related anymore and what little there is, is all mainstream crap anyway.

Oh no!!! Where ever will I get my 16 episodes per day of Star Trek 2.0 and the Man Show, along with some shows that USED to be gaming shows that aren't anymore (looks straight at Filter) peppered sparsely throughout?!?!?!

G4 killed the network and now Comcast is killing them. G4- good riddance.

Isn't there like a new gaming network just coming out, either on TV or online that has a lot of the old Tech TV folk? I heard something about that. Hmmmm.....

I totally agree!! It's really stupid because they thought that they couldn't sell a channel just about games and related subjects. So they changed it,and now its a worthless channel!!
