G4 TV reboot shuts down less than a year after its initial launch G4 MediaIt has been reported that the new reboot of G4 TV \u2013 the gaming channel and network \u2013 has been shut down as of October 16, 2022 despite only being brought back recently. Less than a year after relaunching, Comcast\u2019s reboot of the 2000s gaming channel G4 TV has been shut down, the network no longer being worked on in spite of how recently the reimagining was put together. As first reported by Deadline, a memo was sent out to all remaining staff by David Scott. Scott \u2013 the current CEO of parent company Spectator, wrote in the memo how part of this decision was due to \u201cthe company\u2019s investment and efforts to revive the network\u201d and how they \u201cjust didn\u2019t gain traction.\u201d The CEO also went on to say how, \u201cover the past several months, we worked hard to generate that interest in G4, but viewership is low and the network has not achieved sustainable financial results. This is certainly not what we hoped for, and, as a result, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue G4\u2019s operations, effective immediately.\u201d Many were worried about the future of G4 after the network underwent major layoffs last month, However, for those still working at the network, the news that it is being shut down for good appears to have come out of nowhere. Alex \u201cGoldenboy\u201d Mendez revealed on Twitter that he \u201cwas in active negotiations for [his] new contract with G4.\u201d Many employees \u2013 and those who had been working with the network in some capacity \u2013 have taken to social media, revealing that Deadline\u2019s initial report was the first they had heard about losing their job. Employee Emily Rose discovered she had lost her job via the initial report from Deadline when she was flying home to attend her grandfather\u2019s funeral. G4 was first developed back in 2002 and was run under Dish Network and NBCUniversal. During its initial run, G4 featured a number of well-known and high-profile personalities, with the likes of Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, and Chirs Hardwick all appearing as hosts during the early 2000s. Pereira has said the news of G4\u2019s recent cancellation \u201cnot exactly unexpected\u201d but that it is still a massive disappointment for a myriad of reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
