DirecTV officially drops G4
“At this time we are no longer negotiating and we have no plans to put G4 back up. We are constantly evaluating our lineup in a new world where programming costs continue to rise at significant rates. Since G4 is among the lowest rated networks based on the latest Nielsen data, we decided that it made sense to focus on preserving programming that is more relevant to our larger customer base.” - DirecTV rep
It’s not often that you see a lowly-rated network get dropped from a lineup for a cable/satellite provider. The network usually gets canned altogether. You have to wonder if the network has just started a slippery slope into obscurity now… Thanks to Dinofan for the heads up!
