G4TV's E3 Schedule Revealed |
Listed in: News Tags:
Ó
G4TV, a channel which seems hell-bent on making video games loathed by all, will be broadcasting live from E3 during the entire event. They will be sending three puppets down to cover it - Kevin Pereira, Adam Sessler, and Morgan Webb. The schedule is as follows:Monday May 8th, 2006 - (7:00 PT/ET - 8:00 PT/ET)
Attack of the Show E3 Preview
An hour of what to expect from E3 including previews and predictions.
Tuesday May 9th, 2006 - (6:00 PT/ET - 9:00 PT/ET)
E3 06 Live Attack of the Show Special
Coverage of the three press conferences (Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft) as well as videos of all the revealed games.
Wednesday May 10th, 2006 to Friday May 12th, 2006 - (6:00 PT/ET - 9:00 PT/ET)
E306 Live Attack of the Show Specials
Coverage of all that the three hosts see and play at E3. This includes booth babes, fanboys, free stuff, cosplayers, and games. With the way G4 is going these days, expect about two hours of booth babes and an hour for everything else.
On a side note, G4 says theirs is an 18-34 male audience. Funny how most people over the age of 18 apparently think their channel is trash that's turning into yet another MTV wannabe while those in their pre- and early teens love it. Note to G4: If you want to be a video game channel, stop cancelling all your shows that have to do with video games.

I dislike the channel for catering to a crowd that likely doesn't watch the channel over the one that does. I also dislike them greatly for taking all the video game related content off the channel (Filter, Icons, etc.) to replace it with unrelated crap (The Whip Set, Star Trek, etc.).
#6, the revealing clothing is banned as far as I know, but there will still be booth babes. Just more conservatively dressed.

The glory days of that channel were the ZDTV days. It was great back then, in the days of Kate & Leo hosting the Screen Savers. The channel has been going downhill since they changed their name to TechTV, and when they became G4, they simply crashed.

Kevin Rose (Intern on TechTV) has his own podcast and vid segments. Laura Swish is off doing her own comedic thing, can't remember what happened to Martin and his Girls Gone Wired.
So many people, but I can only remember so few names and from the TechTV days.
I don't know for sure, but I believe Sessler had been hosting X-Play before the name was changed with Kate (Of the screen savers)
I hate G4...
Oh yes, and Kristin Holt is an annoying girl who has a small chest, wide hips and is only marginally better then the old Cheat Host (Not saying much)

The beginning of the TechTV/G4 merger was ok, but now it's just a f*cking helllhole.

when g4 came it was good more game shows and tech stuff. But then they started cancelling shows and puttin on crap.
Sometimes i look at the tv guide and in 24 hours there are like 3 shows about games, most probably reruns.
What the hell are the g4 executives thinking, they cant match mtv. they shoud stick to games and tech.
Now g4 is complete crap, star trek, fast lane, whip set? where is call for help, the screen savers, and real tech shows.
down with g4!
Braniac, that is a ripoff of mith busters which is an excelent show. But this is so much worse and stupid.

This didn't work and now the channel is trying to keep afloat by changing its programming.
I'm OK with whatever they have to do to keep their heads above water, even if it means cutting the gaming content down drastically.
A small amount of video game programming is better than none.
People have a hard time wrapping their heads around the concept of a buisness. Also, thank God people have the courage to say things like "down with g4!" "channel sux" and "G4 can go kill themselves." Thank God for the internet

g4 was to be for gamers and nerds not men. your other channel spike is for men. bring back the games and the technology and keep it current.... i know thats hard with your format but golly
why is every episode of x-play a thousand years old...in fact why is just about everything video game related soooooo out of date. AOTS isnt bad, actually its great if you dont automaticaly hate on adam for being such a lucky douche but i could really use more technology. whips and all that is cool but i need more pwnage
Much Love.
a concerned boobie oogler
p.s. can i have like...a grand or so
p.s.s. for god sakes do something with that *****ed up arena *****.....damn that ***** is silly.....great concept but executed damn horribly

Cinematech, Icons, X-Play & Call for Help are the only good shows. I miss the old screensavers, Attack of the show is pure garbage and is designed for kids in grade 8.
They seem to keep changing their target market and now are competition with spike and other mens channels. They need to stay focused on tech stuff and realize that there is only so large of market (and be the best in that market) instead of generalizing more programming to try and bring in more viewers while they loose their old viewers.

Since then they've sold out completely, AotS is a poor substitute for the Screensavers which actually had an outlook --Tech news, regular segments involving things like the photoshop tip of the week, and helping people with computer problems lives as well as Leo Leporte.
The only decent programming on G4 is Xplay, the only real relic from Tech TV and Maybe star trek. Basically G4 is being called the next "spike tv" for bringing shows like "Fastline" (total garbage by the way, I watched an ep of it back when it was on fox...I'm glad it got pulled) that got cancelled in under four episodes.
G4 needs to take a dive off a cliff, I tune in once a day to watch xplay and then I go take a shower to clean the stench of that wretched piece of crap that claims to be entertainment. I'm glad many of you out there in internet land seem to agree with this sentiment.

Like many of you i loved TechTV, and i thought it was going to be the best thing that ever happened to g4, and it was, for a while. What many do not understand is how touchy the gamer demographic can be and how hard it is to cater a tv station to that audience...so rather than being inovative G4's former CEO left, they got a new CEO who apparetly wants to take the channel in a new direction and change the demographic to a more secure audience, the typical male 14-28 or whatever it is...and have lost a lot of gamer viewers.
I still watch G4. I enjoy AOTS most of the time, i do watch Star Trek TNG and now the original Star Trek (in fact this is the only station you can watch TOS on...) on the network, and love their E3 coverage...so the station does have some redeeming values...
Perhaps what I find most interesting is the bias contained in the above artical, i love thses forums very much and respect a lot of what they say, but not this time. The above article is obviously completely one sided. And while many agree they dislike G4's network decisions, they will certainly take the time to flag the ntetwork...so obviously G4 has had some impact on you if you feel so compelled to make a comment (positive or negative).
Lets not knock the only station out there that is even attempting to cater to us gamers. Would you really rather watch Spike than G4?

I actually felt like writing what I did after reading their press release which was just as opiniated as my article, except in the other direction. I just didn't feel like reporting it the boring way with straight-out facts. Then again, most people around here seem to share my sentiments on what G4 has become.

If that does not work there are many sites like this you should check on constantly during E3...and I am sure most of them will have video blogs...I know SOny is doing a video blog this year that can be accessed from their website, i am not sure if it will be live though, or if it will even be available during the show. But check this site, gamesarefun.com (which has been a bit lacking lately but should pick up near E3), Gamasutra.com, Gamespot.com and IGN.com for sure, 1up.com, etc. I am sure there are users here who know of other sites as well. Hope this helps.
