Wow. I didn’t realize that the G4TechTV “content” was going to be this bad. I hope that for the last few hours I’ve been seeing G4 drek, and that somewhere in all of this mess there still is some TechTV.
Update:
In Lieu of actual programming, the wunderbrains at G4TechTV have decided to nix the re-airing of The Screen Savers at 8am. They also replaced quality TechTV filler with Paid Programming straight through till they pick up G4 crap programming at 9am.
I have to conclude that G4TechTV did not do any research before jumping in to all of this. I’m usually at work when The Screen Savers is on in the evening. I happen to be at home getting ready for work during the 8am re-airing. I’ve been out of my usual schedule recently, but for months on end I’ve been an almost-daily viewer of the 8am show. I can’t be alone. I know that the DC Market was one of the stronger TechTV markets, so the viewers had to be there.
Ahh, it’s okay. The Screen Savers is on the schedule twice a day: at noon and at seven pm. Of course I’m not able to catch either of those times. In these TiVO times aparently I should be able to “deal with it.”
I know that I mourned the loss of TechTV a few weeks ago, but I’m really sad to see it actually happen. I can’t decode the actual content from all the ads on the G4TechTV main page. The, uh, Screen Savers page has about a paragraph and a half of content on it, as opposed to the old feature rich page that had more info than you can shake a stick at.
Maybe I’m growing old and bitter. Maybe I just miss my old friend, TechTV.
