Wow, 285 people laid off ... thats pretty big.

Maybe it's just because its 5 o'clock in the morning but, I dont quite understand both articles. One gave me the impression TechTV is gone, and G4 will take its place, and the other gave me the impression some TechTV shows will still run!

The code for hyper link is ...

Hmm...this is what I cal backstabbing. I think if TechTV had learned this was going to happen, I don't think they would have merged with G4...

We'll find out more on Monday when G4's president lays down the law to the workers.

You know they'll hire some of them back since this seemed to be a formality, but those involved have to move to LA... So they might end up cleaning house in the end.

Kefka: Well, TechTV and G4 are merging and G4 (Comcast) is going to have more influence over the network. I don't even get TechTV Canada (basically TechTV minus the anime) but I'd assume it'll go through the same changes.

Wow, even though the board is idiot-proofed?

See, there is a little "link" button in the post toolbar. You click it, enter the URL, and click it again. Then it formats the link for you. GLEE!

I didn't know TechTV had anime

Eww ... G4. My brothers watch it. I never hear anything on it but cheating and commercials. The worst network EVER.

At least TechTV was intelligent.

What happened was they wanted to resign people under deals that're more amenable to them. Leo's contract had shit like stock options... either way, the people at Comcast are just pissing all OVER TechTV, which is only happening because Comcast had money and Vulcan was tired of losing money (TechTV was turning around, too). That's the kind of arrogance that would make me want to look elsewhere if I was Kevin or Sarah. Leo doesn't need G4.
