Web News: Comcast Buys TechTV

?? Strange but true the channel has been bought and is looking to be reformatted into its G4 channel.

Qoute:
"I think this is a tremendous vote of confidence that Comcast has in video games," says G4's CEO Charles Hirschhorn, who will stay in charge when the merger is completed. "This one transaction triples all the performance measures we would look for. It triples our distribution, (and) it triples the amount of programming we produce. It's a huge win for G4 and TechTV."
