Subject: Semi OT: Tech TV goes gamer?
Does the "gamer" lifestyle include classic computers or are we unlikely to
see Sellam on there again?
Comcast Agrees to Purchase TechTV
Thursday, March 25, 2004
Comcast recently announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire
TechTV, a cable network focused on cutting-edge technology and the impact
of
technology on daily life, from Vulcan Programming Inc.
When the deal
closes, Tech TV will be merged with G4, the Comcast-owned television
network
devoted to video games and the "gamer"
lifestyle.

All 285 TechTV employees fired, maybe they are just breaking their contracts
to rehire them at minimum wage. For the most part gamers lust after the
latest and greatest equipment, and maybe a few old school systems and
consoles.
