G4 + Tech TV = G4?

I sometimes wonder how smart it was of G4 to take over Tech TV and then completely destroy it. I miss Tech TV, especially Call For Help with Chris Pirillo and the Revenge of the Screen Savers with Leo Laporte. I look at the past videos that people post on YouTube and see how these tech personalities loved what they did, and had fun doing it to, which provided a healthy environment and built a oneness community.

So basically what G4 did to take over Tech TV was to first remove Tech TV from Comcast Cable (yes, Comcast owns G4). Doing so caused the ratings and price of Tech TV to lower. They then "merged" with Tech TV (more like hostile take over with a low price), they named themselves G4TechTV. For about 7 months.

The then proceeded to rename the company to G4. And one by one they knocked off the Tech TV shows, until there were was one left. It is still on today, which is X-Play.

So now there is no TV channel dedicated to computers, or tech for geeks like me. I hope Comcast is happy.

Share your thoughts, I would love to hear them.
