Relationship With International G4 Channels

A Canadian channel called G4 Canada was launched in 2001 as TechTV Canada by Rogers Media (33.34%), Shaw Communications (33.33%) and TechTV US (33.33%). It uses the G4 trademark under license from NBCUniversal, and initially both channels shared a focus on technology and video game-related programming. However, both channels, since the renaming to G4, deviated considerably from their original roots, although there is still connection between the two channels since many of G4's current programs, including newer series such as That's Tough (although no longer airs since April 2012), Bomb Patrol Afghanistan, Web Soup, Campus PD, and Proving Ground, do air on G4 Canada. Some of their programming blocks parallel each other, such as the Anime Unleashed block paralleling G4 Canada's Anime Current block, and the Midnight Spank block paralleling the ADd block.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or channels:

    Harvey: Oh, you kids these days, I’m telling you. You think the only relationship a man and a woman can have is a romantic one.
    Gil: That sure is what we think. You got something better?
    Harvey: Oh, romance is very nice. A good thing for youngsters like you, but Helene and I have found something we think is more appropriate to our stage of life—companionship.
    Gil: Companionship? I’ve got a flea-bitten old hound at home who’ll give me that.
    Tom Waldman (d. 1985)

    The enthusiastic uprising of the people in our cause, is our great reliance; and we can not safely give it any check, even though it overflows, and runs in channels not laid down in any chart.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
