    Bye Tech TV?!

    Wow...I was kinda fond of Tech TV. It looks like things are changing though....

    Bye Tech TV?

    I think it'll be interesting to see what happens.

    Here are a few better stories about it:

    This sucks.

    G4 is a little known, pile of shit network and TechTV is actually quite good. They worked hard to build up a reputation and have been able to get excellent guests on their shows due to that and the personalities of their hosts.

    Comcast already officially fired everyone at TechTV and will then choose to hire specific people on a case by case basis (mainly hosts). Perhaps worse, the list of shows they kept is pretty crappy. The fact that they kept Anime Unleashed and Robot Wars, which are absolute crap that have nothing to do with technology (the robots are very low tech and the show is just plain stupid) really adds to the suckitude.

    Ever since TechTV cancelled Silicon Spin it has been going downhill. I used to love this network and slowly it has been decaying.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    *clings desperately to Aristotle's pant leg*

    Say it ain't so, oh please say it ain't so.
    Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.
