Speaking of TechTV, Comcast recently bought TechTV and will be integrated into its G4 channel (which I've heard is an all-gaming channel of sorts). Anyway, theres been talk for months about this happening, and it's been done - most of those bullshit TechTV shows are gone (including Unscrewed which is a shame 'cause most times I thought it was good, it just needed to be an hour long).
Also, Leo officially left as host of TSS last week, though he'll still do spots for them from time to time - he's still on Call for Help, and I would assume if that show is one that makes the merge he'll continue on.
Noone knows for sure what shows are being kept, but most likely TSS, TechLive and X-Play are the "definites", and Call for Help as a possibility. They might also be retooled in some way to fit Comcast's standards, I guess.
It kinda sucks, esp. since Leo left mainly because of talks that TechTV would shut down - that asshole Kevin Rose is his replacement, and I don't know what's worse - the fact that he thinks he's the coolest for his (often 2 weeks late) "Dark Tips" or how he drolls over Sarah on every show since theyre an item.
Anyway, thats the scoop.
