A lot of changes took place on G4 over the past few months, with the cancellation of popular shows like X-Play and Attack of the Show in favor of more “original” programming that was to be put in place for the Esquire Channel, which, at one point, was set to be the rebranding for the “geek” network.
Now, it looks like NBC Universal has had a change of heart. The network recently confirmed that Esquire Network will now be taking over the Style channel instead, leaving G4 to stay the way it is in terms of branding and current programming.
That doesn’t mean NBC will be bringing back popular fan shows, though. The Hollywood Report indicates that G4 will remain the way it is for the foreseeable future, with the chance of seeing new shows being “highly unlikely.” That means programming including American Ninja Warrior and Cops, as well as movies like Tekken and WarGames.
How this will affect G4 in the long run has yet to be seen.
