Replacing G4

Quote:

New programming is already in development and will focus on the genres that other male-centric channels, such as Spike, have failed to provide for men. They include: cooking, travel, fashion and, in keeping with tradition, some gaming as well.

Will officially debut april 22nd
Syndicated programming so far includes reruns of Parks and Rec , Party Down , Burn Notice,Psych , and rebroadcasts of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

the first two original series announced are
The Getaway ,

Quote:

" a celebrity travel show produced by Anthony Bourdain features travel-loving, well known personalities - people deservedly famous for excellence in their fields - who take viewers to their favorite city on the planet, giving the insiders’ track on their top spots to eat, drink, shop and hang out This includes Aziz Ansari (Hong Kong), comedian Joel McHale (Belfast), musicperson Eve (Jamaica), actress Aisha Tyler (Paris), and José Andrés (Puerto Rico"

Knife Fight,

Quote:

produced by Drew Barrymore and about, per the press release, “underground, after-hours cooking competition where talented chefs go head to head in front of a rowdy crowd of celebrities, critics and die-hard foodies."

The only original G4 program that they will keep is American Ninja Warrior.

haha i like what someone in the comments of ign wrote.
"this channel sounds like it appeals to Schmidt from The New Girl"

[WakingTheMisery]

This sounds like a great idea.

[revhartle]

Every person who watches G4 already will enjoy this change with no complaints. Anticipate profit for all.

[upthepunx]

just make it a 24 hour slow-motion sara underwood channel

[daftpunker45]

I think this could work.

[I am Mick]

Hope it fails miserably. Going to miss AOTS

[thursday727]

Maybe this will inspire some nerds to be more classy, could be a positive thing.

[TJ Wells]

Eh. I watched AOTS every once in a while when Kevin was host, but not really at all since then. Going with Mira may have been a solid choice, but that Candace is just brutal. Good riddance.

[juice182]

dont see why they couldnt have kept aots and just replaced their cheaters reruns with mad men.

[I'mOnAHorse]

I didn't know G4 was still a channel

[thursday727]

I'll miss Ninja Warrior and Campus PD.

[anthonydarko]

I'll take this over a channel that plays nothing but Cops and Cheaters all day.

[Ricketts]

Might as well. Hasn't been a gamer/ nerd network since it was TechTV, which was phenomenal.

[bladerdude360]

Interesting, I'd definitely check it out.
