    i feel all tingly inside!
  • StephnDolenc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Even though Leo thnks video over internet is the future, there was something special about TechTV and the ScreenSavers. Twit does a great good in filling the void, but it'd be nice to have the ScreenSavers return for at least a season.
  • AlmightyMalachi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm so happy, I can't wait for all of the programming excellence to come back.

    Why do people spam comments? :(
  • MuZiKMafia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope they keep brainiac..thats the only show on g4 that I like.....

    Lets wait for this to be concrete. We'll see how it turns out. *fingers crossed*
  • NekstBestThing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kevin I love you with all my heart.

    And by you I mean techtv.
  • kindrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yay!!! I mean seriously... what was he thinking with all the catering to the nascar crowd??? I knew there was a reason why it was so hard to get CRACK in LA. Hirschhorn was hogging it all. Good riddance.
  • terrence_1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Charles Hirschhorn is my baby's daddy
  • wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea, this could be good. I personally don't see what spinners and 22 inch rims have to do with gaming and technology, but evidentally those smacktards did.

    God, I would love to see the return of TechTV. Tech news, Fresh Gear and the like would be great to have back.
  • TokenUser, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3LAME - linking your own blog rather than the original story.
    Whats up - trying to drive traffic to your site?? ;)
  • Homerowed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've heard horror stories about G4 from Wil Wheaton, Ronilyn Reilly, and Dan Huard. I love the channel, but I bet it's hell to work there.
  • BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You know what's funny?

    I had more fun watching C-Span than watching G4.
  • Leonaken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can not WAIT until we see some change with G4TV. While Hirschhorn getting the boot doesn't mean we'll be seeing the station change direction, it would be incredible if tech content replenished. TechTV had a lot of quality content, and G4 had no place taking all that down.

    I embrace the idea of having video game TV, but having repetitive content 24/7 that really isn't that great is too much. Long live TechTV's on-topic variety!
  • AaronD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok, if you had to choose between TWiT and TSS....
  • TokenUser, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1AND its a dupe ... http://digg.com/technology/G4_CEO_Fired
    No digg. Reported. :P
  • DownloadThis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0TokenUser -
    1. this is his site.
    2. there is no original story, only his site.
  • LazyBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ITs going to take alot to rebuild what that guy has destroyed :(
  • densefive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hope the new CEO likes tech and brings tech back. And who is the COO or G4, maybe he needs to be replaced too.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hopefully they change the airing time for call for help. cuz 8am is waaaay to early for tv.
  • fadedwranglers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I so hope that Kevin, Alex, Leo, Patrick and all the rest can have a great laugh and then get back to Tech TV
  • ErinIsADrunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet Revenger
  • janascii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It will take a while for everything to change back... G4 did keep stuff for about a month ... It'll probably take the same amount of time to switch back if they do. Just to state the facts...G4 sucks.
  • donolsen1155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0IMHO G4 would still suck!

    Diggnation, Systm, The Broken, DigitalLifeTV, tWiT all rock!!! Who needs G4?

    Keep up the good work.

    :)
  • 3-6-0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i cant wait too see what Kevin and Alex have to say about this on diggnation
  • Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0TechTV kicks G4 Ass!
  • Iceknuckle45, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0G4 shows too much damn drift racing! If they bring back shows about actual technology I would love to tune in again. Basically the only program I watch is X-Play... and only when they have good games to review. Bring back tech!!!
  • gatorsrule21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0all hail techtv! but they should get the entire ss crew back together and do the show again, even though it'd be tough
  • saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0"Why do people spam comments? :("

    Because you SUCK!
  • LaWnForcer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Didn't u just spam a comment? .... DOWN WITH G4 those Fn posers
  • RAT-Man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great news, but it came too late in the game (no pun intended).
  • Phaedrus73, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That sure is sweet music to my ears. I really do miss watching TechTV, and would love to see it return better than ever. Of course between Podcasting and Vidcasting I get more information than ever without it. It's nice to see this guy get what he deserves anyhow.
  • saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh and g4 sucks too.
