Television For Gamers
G4TV started out as a small UHF station dedicated to gamers. The channel was launched in 2002 by CommieCast. Their plan was to make a channel like TechTV but aimed toward the MTV gamer crowd. However, the channel was not succeeding well enough.
Notable Shows:
- Arena
- Cinematech
- Filter
G4TechTV
In 2004, TechTV was at the height of their carer. So CommieCast (being a giant monopoly) decided to "invest" in TechTV. In May, CrapCast bought TechTV and decided to merge the good channel with their crappy one and form G4techTV. Doing so meant moving the TechTV studios from San Fransisco to Los Angelas. The new G4techTV was launched on May 28, 2004. After the move, it became apparent that CommieCast was not interested in most of TechTV's shows (TechLive, Call for Help) and only saved X-Play and The Screen Savers.
Notable Shows:
- Cheat!
- Cinematech
- Filter
- The Screen Savers
- X-Play
Death of TechTV and Return to G4
On February 15, 2005 G4 fired all remaining TechTV staff* and renamed The Screen Savers to Attack of The Show. The only survivors were Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb, and X-Play. By the end of the day, the channel was back to G4.
Notable Shows:
- Attack of The Show
- X-Play
