It all started (for techtv) about five (revised, bad at timing) years ago, I was sitting on my dad's bedfoot for some reason and was excited, a new tech channel was being added to the cable lineup. ZDtv was a decent channel and I liked the techiness, but somehow it had cost overruns (Tilde and that 'Max' were expensive EACH... there is a story behind those two, and MS).
So basicly there is this great network, btu ZD sells it off due to overruns, and it's running off some loans. Makes money but not quick enough so the owners are paid off to sell TechTV to G4, a small network nobody likes that has the host o.. Will Wheton as it's 'main star'... you can tell they were crap.
G4 takes over then a day later closes up shop, yes a VERY public hostile takeover. That was about a year ago, and since it's gone to hell.
Basicly what happened.
