TechTV continues to be the bastard stepchild, being abused and used wherever it roams on the tube. The TV business can be just brutal. According to Kevin Rose even more changes are on the way to The Screen Savers and other TechTV shows:

Television is a crazy business - when you start a new show, you know one day that show will be canceled, and you will be out of work. Some shows last 6 episodes, others last 6 years. That’s just the way it is.. Today many of my friends were let go as the network made changes to revamp for new shows. Unscrewed was canceled, and The Screen Savers is being revamped.

It’s too bad there just isn’t enough advertiser and/or mainstream interest in a 24/7 Tech channel. I wish Kevin Rose and the rest of those who made this bout of cuts the best of luck. Good people, just not enough advertiser/audience interest it seems.

  1. Unscrewed was funny, and occasionally had the great tech tip. its sad to see they are still dismantling TSS. Patrick and Leo got out at the right time. What a shame! TechTV was one of the best channels on cable.
