G4 gone: SoapNet and G4 ceasing operations/distribution soon?

I still have my panties in a bunch over G4 buying Tech TV and taking it off the air. Too bad some sucker will hire the G4 execs to destroy their channel next?

I wish Mark Cuban would bring back HDNet as I am not a fan of AXS TV.

He's too busy with Shark Tank.

I feel like WWE Network could come in the place of G4.

That's not going to happen.

Firstly, WWE already tried to buyout a NBC universal channel in Universal HD, but Comcast was not interested.

Secondly, WWE is not going the package route. Providers just were not interested. WWE Network, if it ever launches, will be a paid subscription channel, a la HBO.

Agreed. If they were going to buy G4 from Comcast, they would have done so before it was dropped from all of the cable systems. G4 is now worthless.

If you recall, during the AMC dispute, AMC, and IFC were off Dish. Dish moved HDNet to 130 (maybe they thought we wouldn't notice!?). Rather than move HDnet back to 383, they left it where it was and put AMC and IFC right next to them.

HDNet Movies was on both 130 and 383 for quite some time until Dish took it off 383. I believe AXS (formerly HDNet) was on 131 but moved back to 362 with information on 125. Then, it was moved to 167. I know it is confusing with all the moves and to even try to keep up with them.
