I have great respect for personalities like Sarah Underwood and Morgan Webb, but this thing is going nowhere fast. I think it's about time they hit the launch button.
Once Kevin left, that was it.

The best option would be to let the WWE purchase it for their 24 hour channel. I haven't watched wrasslin' in twenty years, I have no interest in watching a 24 hour wrasslin' network, but in theory it would work more than an NBC/Universal Nickelodeon channel, simply because there are too many of those now already. On DISH there are three Nick channels other than Nick, not to mention HUB which also functions as a similar channel.
shareThat's a thought. I'd pay to watch the people responsible for the dreck that is G4TV make the acquintance of the turnbuckle and the floor outside the ring.

It's important because the only way to get a point across here is to type it out. That means people have to actually be able to read it in order to understand your point.
Clear enough idiot? When you type and rant like a moron, people do not want to read what you type.

And you can find much more than pics of her "eating sausage". If you look around hard enough, you can find vids on daily motion of her naked doing yoga poses.
They are basically destroying G4 and turning it into HomoTV
shareG4 destroyed itself. They bought and destroyed TechTV just for access to the audience TechTV had, and then tried to turn itself into a Spike TV clone.
In particular, they gutted The Screen Savers, and called the rotting pelt Attack of the Show, getting rid of any technical content and replacing it with froth and the antics of people with delusions of talent, e.g. Kevin Pereira.

Former G4 Staffer • on Jan 5, 2012 12:38 pm
WILLIE and others, though I agree with some of your comments, you don’t have a grasp of the facts. Having worked at G4, I speak from first-hand experience.
First, the TechTV whining is old news and, quite frankly, pathetic. TechTV was a bomb with zero audience, zero ad revenue and no viable future as a TV net. Those who still pine for it need to get a life (or watch the video content at CNET.COM). It’s dead, buried, gone, kaput…something that would have happened with or without G4. Sorry folks, TV is a business, not a charity venture.
Comcast should also shoulder some of the blame for G4’s woes. Not only did they keep Tiles at the helm for more than six years, the bigwigs in Philly never fully understood the property or its potential. Annual employee surveys would contain dozens of questions asking us about our experience with “cable installs” and “customer service” as if we were working in local cable offices or on the streets installing cable boxes in homes.
When DirecTV decided to drop G4, Comcast opted to let it happen. DTV was opposed to the Comcast/NBCU merger and the move to drop G4 was nothing more than a huge middle finger to Comcast. Comcast didn’t want to make waves during the regulatory review phase of the merger so DTV was able to drop G4 with barely a whimper from the network.
Though G4 has a comparatively tiny audience, it WAS one of the most passionate and loyal I’ve ever been associated with. That had less to do with Tiles and more to do with the hard work from producers and staff members on AOTS, X-PLAY and NINJA WARRIOR as well as tireless 24/7 support from those at G4TV.COM, PR and a portion of the marketing department. G4 was given programming, technology and marketing budgets that were among the smallest in all of cable. Cry me a river that it “lost millions” for Comcast. Trust me, any money G4 “lost” was barely a drop in the bucket for Comcast. In fact, G4 hit break even in 2010.
Comcast grousing aside, Tiles was the real problem. While G4 languished, E! was breaking ratings records so there was precedent for a Comcast network doing very well despite a myopic corporate parent. Tiles created a culture of blame and fear, walling himself and the network off from the rest of the Comcast Nets and surrounding himself with yes men, VPs and SVPs who ran the gamut from genuinely talented to completely clueless. G4 became a dysfunctional vanity project where every step forward came with the inherent danger that, if anything went wrong, holy hell would rain down on you and your head would be on the chopping block. There was no inspirational leadership from the top. Thanks and congratulations were few and far between. Even when these sentiments bubbled up in that annual employee survey (which they did, loudly), they were met with little more than a shoulder shrug from Tiles. This was not a culture that mirrored the G4 audience or one that could ever unleash the potential of the brand. Too much time was spent looking over one’s shoulder while waiting for your boss to throw you under the bus in order to save his/her job.
Still, that amazing audience is what kept many of us there for as long as we stayed. After two years, though, even that wasn’t enough to sustain me. Like so many of those who loved the core of G4 and shared the same passion for gaming, gadets and tech with the audience, I left G4. Exhausted, battle scarred and profoundly disappointed. That’s the legacy of Neal Tiles…one that I sincerely hope is finally laid to rest. I haven’t always agreed with everything Bonnie Hammer has done, but she has an undeniable track record of success and a refreshing sense of loyalty to those who take chances and swing for the fences. Adam Stotsky is a very bright and talented guy who did great work, even in the face of some daunting challenges at NBC. To Comcast’s credit, they have done a remarkable job on the cable executive front since the merger and Hammer has been thoughtful and methodical with the changes she has made to the former Comcast Nets. I do agree with one statement in Tile’s otherwise hollow parting remarks…with Hammer (and Stotsky) at the helm, G4, the audience and those who still work at the network are indeed in very good hands.
