G4, the channel known mostly for its focus on gaming, is getting a significant makeover that will be put into action early next year.

What exactly does G4’s significant makeover entail?  Well, for one, it will be rebranded to the Esquire Channel.  This is according to sources who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter.  The sources revealed that NBCUniversal has signed a deal with Hearst Corporation, the parent company of Esquire magazine.  The move will turn G4 into a network aimed at the modern male.

 

The Esquire Channel is set to launch during the first half of next year, and it already has new programming in production.  While the new channel will still carry some programming focused on gaming, its unclear how much of its schedule will be devoted to the subject.  G4 has already announced that Attack of the Show and X-Play will be gone after 2012.  As for the new programming, expect shows on cooking, travel, fashion, and more.

 

What do you think of this move?

I am so Happy they are getting rid of G4TV. I use to watch Tech Tv before they canned pretty much everyone that knew what they where talking about and re-started the network under G4 filled with fake techies that had no idea what they where talking about, the network really went down hill. This is one happy reader :)

Good riddance. That channel stopped being about games over 3 years ago.

i didn't know G4 was still on the air.
After this move, i give it 6 months before it becomes wall-to-wall reality shows, like TruTV

G4TV and Tech TV were good channels until they became one. Tech TV just had the better programing.

I haven't watched this channel since Judgment Day went off the air six years ago. I used to just keep the channel on all the time back in the day.
