On Twitch and Youtube for now. They will be on cable tv too, but that will come later on. No word when.

Is it a 24/7 thing?

Kind of a huge challenge in this day and age to get traction even with mega shit competition like Polygon and IGN.

ngl, gaming content has moved on from the boomer cable tv framework that G4 is trying to revive.

Really the only thing i'm interested in is codemiko content with g4, anything that has sessler in it is a hard skip for me

With streaming, you can just watch anytime, so I guess you can say it's 24/7. As for the cable, no idea. Probably just reruns for hours, then informercials. I want them to air old shows as well like Portal, Icons, Face Off, and the likes.

They were a niche network back in 2002, now an even more niche network that wants to grab some nostalgia happy viewers, and hopefully be in the background of living rooms while you're doing something else.

Does it even need to be a 24hr network? Even back in the day it only put out maybe 7 hours max of new content a week and the rest was Cops and Cheaters reruns.

That was near their end days. In their prime days, like 2002-2003, it was new shows, reruns, and rerun of new shows from all the way back in the 80's, and shit, and also some anime. It was all tech/gaming/nerd related stuff. None of that cops, cheaters stuff, until a change of leadership in mid-2000's to late I think.

Idk it's gonna be tough as fuck to stay tuned to all this. We've evolved from scheduled broadcasting and how the hell are they generating revenue?

The only thing that pisses me off about this is that Austin Creed/Xavier Woods is getting a horrible deal from it all. He is going to host something, I don't know what, but apparently WWE gets all of his paycheck from it. Fucking ridiculous if you ask me.

Still doing that self loathing humor that never worked in the first place, and just makes the product look stupid, and the viewers look even more stupid for watching it. Shit, they may indeed just last a year or less.

Laura Foy I think. I might be have her name wrong. She was one of the hosts of G4TV.com.

She was the cool punk girl.
Along with the long haired brunette right? I remember them. Nope, that's not her. They just got someone that happens to look like her. The real Laura works for Microsoft now I think. She doesn't need this.

Alternatively, this is a larger than normal viewercount they'll normally see due to viewers checking them out and falling off. It happens with new streams all the time that are hyped up. THey see big viewercounts the first day, then it slowly falls off to like 10% of that original number. If only 4k people are watching on the inaugural one, it doesn't bode well.

Adam Sessler does not know how to act around people of color. It's ironic given how outspoken he is about social justice.
