Why are there no good Gaming TV channels online?

Ever heard of G4 genius

G4 has lost its appeal in most circles. Looking at the tv guide for it I see 5 hours of Cheaters and Cops and only about 3 hours of actual Video Game televison.

It's just not a great example.

Can I just urge everyone to catch up on Charlie Brookers Gameswipe on iPlayer. Well worth a watch, and I for one hope he gets a series as this was just a one off.

Crist don't even go there, they degraded to a giant hype shit over the past year. All they have left is X-Play and even that got shit and biased. And Attack of the Show is just stupid now. I liked the old days...

Why don't you learn korean and start loving blizzard? Korea has two except they're all gameplay of blizzard games and such.

There was XLeague in the UK on Sky - I presented one show! - but it is no more...

I'm really wanting to watch a TV Channel that goes through the latest games, trailers etc.

But I can't find any streaming online?

the nearest i've found is esport.tv but thats pretty naf as it can't be made full screen and its just a dozen videos in a playlist. Pretty lame.


I can't find anything good. I'd make my own internet gaming tv channel if i could afford a connection with high bandwidth lol.

Isn't that exactly what the internet is for? 24/7 updates on the latest games: trailers, reviews, previews, interviews, gossip, game shows, fora, ...

I think there is an American one called 'Good Game' Or something. Apart from that TV tends to be more anti-games.

HA! you lose!

You ever watch it? Its so shit, Im was lost for words to describe it's crappyness.

Yeah i watched that, it was partly what made me make this thread lol

Although it was incredibly biased and didn't say the benefits of gaming and what not but was still quite interesting

I do honestly beleive there is a market for gaming tv, i mean as mentioned in Korea and other Asian countries they have dedicated channels to gaming

Because video games are tv's greatest enemy.

There used to be a channel called "Game One". A French channel I recieved for about 2 years. Imagine MTV showing still good, varied and not soley stupid pop-crap and wannabe-rock sh!te. But instead of the normal video footage (or if they have none to beginn with) they showed footage, Cutscenes, play scenes and render-video material of eithe 1 game or a theme based collection of various games or visuals that usually fit well with the music.

Sometimes they would just play longertrailers with the proper music which also was quite awesome on big TV screens, mind you.

But of course, the channel wouldn't be called Game One if they just were an AMV-verison of MTV afterall. So they had their own shows. News about movies, comics and of course games, interviews with developers, E3 insights...

Yes, this channel was pure greatness. And it's a damn shame they went off air from what I know. If anyone has a channel like that, please let me know. I am starving for such a channel (language doens't really matter if I am in it for the music.)
