I think they should find a different host.

From Leo Laporte's website:
"I've just learned that G4 has fired the entire staff of TechTV.
Per the WARN Act (governing plant closings) all the employees of TechTV have been given 60 days notice. The San Francisco operation will be shuttered by July. 100 of the existing jobs will be posted for those willing to relocate to LA.
Outgoing COO, Joe Gillespie will say good-bye to the troops tomorrow. Incoming CEO Charles Hirschorn will say hello (and good-bye) on Monday.
No word on which shows G4 will keep or which hosts will be kept on."

Why'd they have to ruin the ONE channel I watch regulary on TV? Looks like its nothing but 2 hours a week of HBO on Sundays for me now...

Too Cool for Top 10 Lists
I never had the ability to see TechTV, but I didn't like what I saw of G4 on the Exhibition disc with Capcom vs. SNK 2 on it. Not a fan of an entire staff being fired either, been there, done that.

All the TV personalities are being rehired. It's not a big deal.

I have a feeling this has more to do with TechTV being available on dish subscription services like Direct TV. I have Direct TV and it does not offer G4, but we have Tech TV. Now it seems that I won't have any cool channels like it.

Yeah, that sucks you can't pick out your own channel package, I hear canadians will lose WWE soon.

they will probably cancel Unscrewed. I won't get to watch any more of the shows crazziness, and the hotness that is the swish T_T.

i can see this as the only positive outcome, that show was bad on every level, but that does not undo the hurting.
