I wonder if this means Comcast will soon stop charging an extra $5.99 a month for TechTV?

Comcast on Thursday said it agreed to acquire cable channel TechTV, owned by Paul Allen’s Vulcan, and merge it with its own G4 video game network. The acquisition will enable Comcast, the nation’s largest cable network, to expand its technology and gaming channel to 44 million cable and satellite homes. G4 CEO Charles Hirschhorn will become head of the combined company.

I like TechTV and I think the idea of having a technical based TV channel is a good one but the dot com bust certainly has had an effect on the viability of this network. Let’s hope that this works well for all parties involved, as the article noted financial terms of this deal were not disclosed.

Did this post make you go hmm?
