G4 trying a new tactic?

[Former member 134676]

This is only speculation, but it seems as if G4 maybe trying a new tactic to get Directv subs to complain about not having G4.

When I watch Pirates games on my local RSN, G4 is airing commercials about a new up coming show. What's weird about it is my local RSN is Root Sports. Root Sports is owned by Directv.

I know other tv providers carry Root Sports.

so what is the tactic? seems it Root (formerly FSN) just running ads the G4 has paid them to air; am I missing something?

i seen it, and i read nothing it at all! it was just a commercial, it's wasn't just on directv, it's was on everywhere that carry Root Sports

I took it as they were reminding us we don't have G4. Maybe I read too much into it.

I miss G4...a little.

I think more than half of D* subs would say, "Whats G4? Isn't that when all those presidents get together to talk about the war?"

I watch all the AOTS clips online about a day after they air. A day ago, I would have thrown in my obligatory, "I miss G4." However, I just watched Tuesday's clips... Kevin Pereira is leaving AOTS. Frankly, AOTS was all G4 had. And Kevin was the heart and soul of AOTS. It doesn't really matter if they bring G4 back now. It's looking like DirecTV just jumped ship before the G4 ship fully sunk. I really am going to miss AOTS, though.

Directv = No G4, Dish = No AMC, We, Sundance, IFC, etc.

THIS!! ^^^

the real tactic will be dumping some big sports event or some Olympics EVENTS on to G4.

Adam Sessler is gone because of a contract dispute. The last legitimate gaming person there and last ZDTV hold over. -There's no reason to watch G4 anymore.

 

[lacubs]

why are people missing G4 so much?

 

[CK SatGuy]

G4 had a couple of good shows, but they canceled them so now I just don't watch it. I used to like watching Robot Wars on TechTV before that show ended.

I was wondering what was going on with him. I saw him on gametrailers.com's Bonus Round this week. I wonder if he'll become a permanent fixture with gt.com/Spike?

G4 sucks it died a long time ago.
Once Leo left it wasn't long after that.

Doesn't AMC come on Dish channel 130? They are in a contract dispute that might make AMC go dark on Dish
sometime this summer, but as far as I know it's still on now.
