Video: Is G4 Coming Back?


Is G4 coming back?

As if 2020 couldn’t get any deeper into the Twilight Zone, it looks like G4 may be making a return after more than six years of absence. IGN posted the video below on Twitter and it is definitely advertising the return of the ill-fated channel.

G4 shut down way back in 2014 following its merger with TechTV in 2004. The channel used to play host to a number of tech-related shows including X-Play, Judgment Day, Electric Playground, and Cinematech. The channel covered a wide variety of programming from Code Monkeys, an animated comedy about a fictional 80’s video game developer to Icons which focused on significant people and products in the tech industry, to talk shows like Unscrewed with Martin Sargent and Attack of the Show with fan favorite Olivia Munn.

The return of G4 will be interesting for sure, just in the question of how much of the old crew G4 can bring back six years after the fact and what programming the network might have in mind. The bro mentality of the network might have a tougher time surviving in 2020 given G4 previously ran a show called “The International Sexy Ladies Show” and “Wired For Sex” which discussed pornography and cyber sex.
