G4TV's E3 Schedule Revealed

Posted Apr 11, 2006 at 2:24PM EST by QJ Staff

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.

Not even e3 can make me watch that crap. I'd actually rather watch MTV than them anymore, all it is are boobs boobs boobs and vaginas... and boobs. Then of course lots of rappers and people who know absolutly nothing about games reviewing games.

#5, I can take criticism. However, G4 has never criticized me. If you can't take a little criticism on your favourite channel, I'd suggest taking things less seriously. It's my opinion, as well as many others', and seeing as I'm the one who wrote the article... it's a bit obvious it would feature my opinion and not yours.



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.

# I agree completely.Guest 2006-04-11 16:15
G4 has turned into nothing but a tool. They just went the way of MTV when they replaced quality music with Girls Gone Wild commercials and Date My Mom (Nothing wrong with GGW though ">_>).



But you can bet your ass I'll be watching E3 online. I might see about getting the DVDs this year, it's gonna be one hell of an E3 :D

Oh man, I can't stand G4. It was bad enough as TechTV, but once they became G4 they started broadcasting 100% crap.



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.

I'm not disagreeing (or agreeing) with any of you but I honestly want to know, is there any other channel that has anything about video games that airs where you live? All I have is G4techTV infact I've never heard of anything else although I've never looked.

You'll see some of the people for ZDTV and TechTV floating around the television and Radio. Kalela Pierra took a position as a news anchor. The Filter girl hosts a Kids discovery channel that I can't recall.



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)

Why the hell is Pereira doing all the main coverage now? He's the lamest in G4.. At least Rose managed to put on a good show.



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

# g4 sucks!!!!!!!!!! !!!Guest 2006-04-11 17:24
G4 video game tv... pure B$... more like 100% crap tv. I really miss tech tv.



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.

# In their defense...Guest 2006-04-11 17:37
G4 was once all about the video games.

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

please read this thread....the whole thread....



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.

# g4drunkenmonky 2006-04-11 18:48
there shouldnt be a channel soley on games, there isnt enough news for a whole channel based on it, thats why g4 has so many reruns. they should have merged techtv instead of pushing them out, i watched every show they had on tech tv (almost), now i only watch icons. even xplay has gotten insanly stupid. i think that someone should beat down the owner(s) of g4 and take away there rights to air what they want. i dont give that channel 2 years if they dont make drastic changes!

# mehGuest 2006-04-11 18:50
Yeah, G4 sucks, and it sucks that it's the only thing we ahve as far as video game content. but think about it, a video game channel jsut isn't meant to be. serious gamers usually never take other's opinions,and if we are AT a tv, we are usually using that tv to play some video games.



HOw bad has g4 become? (i was almost physically sick when i saw the little flash ad on THIS site for the hip hop gaming league. because when i think quality skilled gamers, i think snoop dogg.

# g4tv videogame television?Guest 2006-04-11 19:15
Ummmmmmmmmmmm... shows like "The man show" and "Fastlane" do not belong on a "Videogame Channel". And star trek... get the ***** outta here, when they put star trek on 24-7 i quit watching for good. AOTS gets way too much airtime too, Kevin Peria or whatever his name is, is the worst "host" on television... it seems like he had his first beer a year ago and is excited to tell someone about it! Xplay is no help for videogame reviews... Adam Sessler is pathetic and will never get laid even with having his own very poor written and directed tv show...

# Stupid G4 & TechTV merger!Guest 2006-04-12 02:17
G4 is getting worse and worse.

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.

# G4 = weakbittleGuest 2006-04-12 05:27
After Tech TV got sold to Comcast I saw it going down hill, for 2 weeks times (give or take) it was known as "G4TechTv" and it still had a good mix between the Video Game bull that G4 brought to the table and a the good meat and potatoes of the Tech TV Network.



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.

# A few thingstomlin1 2006-04-12 11:09
I have a bit of a biased opinion...when G4 first came out there were not so great, but it was nice someone was attempting to put together a station for gamers like us.



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?

Alright, alright. I'll tone it down a bit, tomlin1. Although some other idiots do make me want to be even more opiniated on these things with their completely idiotic replies.



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.

# Another commenttomlin1 2006-04-12 12:56
I know you made those comments in your article Rushan S. because you were frustrated with G4's recent programing decisions and not-so-new found station direction. I share your frustration and am sure we are not the only two people that feel this way. As journalists though (you perhaps more signifigant than I), we need to remain objective when reporting news and leave our opionons for editorials....and my fault lays with getting a bit too defensive on G4's behalf...trying too hard to express a relevant inteligent opinion rather than "Go to hell G4" or "G4 sucks..." I just wish we would see more thought out, inteligent commentary rather than complaints and rambles that reduces the interest of comments/forums to zero, and lowers others expectations of what a great site and user base like qj.net is capable of containing.

# Watch E3 coverage livetomlin1 2006-04-12 18:50
There are many places you can watch coverage of E3, the first thing that comes to mind is of course G4TV, i am not sure where you live and if you get the network so you will have to check your local program listings as they say.



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.

# g4 what happenedGuest 2006-04-14 11:55
Two years ago G4 was all games, then they "merged" with tech tv, which meant tech+video games, which wasnt half bad. But what happened, the screen savers went from being a helpful show about tech, and cool stuff, to.... Attack of the show, im not even sure what that shows purpose is anymore, Its basically a 'news' show thats targeted towards no one in particular. G4 needs to uncancell some of there programs and get the shows that belong on spiketv off there network.G4 no longer associates itself with videogames, it has already dropped the slogan Videogame Television, and it is only a matter of time before all there shows revolving around videogames are gone.
