Is G4 not covering the San Diego Comic Con this year?

I love watching every year and I don't see it on their schedule. I know AotS ended and I assume this was part of that show.

Is any other channel covering it as extensively?

G4 is being rebranded the Esquire network in September. All of the geek coverage like Comic Con was cancelled because of it.

Yeah, it was supposed to be the Esquire Network months ago but because reasons, it was delayed. The only show confirmed to be kept from G4 is American Ninja Warrior. Matter of fact, the latest season of the ANW had Esquire Network flags and logos instead of G4.

Interesting that there is going to be no geek channel as it seems geek-dom is bigger than ever these days. But I guess for geekitory video geeks would probably rather go to YouTube on channels like IGN than TV.

Whenever I watched Attack of the Show (back when DirecTV actually carried whatever-the-heck-they're-calling-this-station-now), it struck me that half the show was devoted to showing people internet clips. I guess Kimmel's show is similar in some ways.

Spike TV's "Comic-Con All Access" will be airing Monday night:

And I guess MTV is doing live streaming on the web every day here:

I too will miss G4's coverage.

Thanks for the info though.

Yeah, 1 hour is disappointing. G4's coverage was always enjoyable.

Sara Underwood was probably running around in outfits, and there was no one there to capture it.

We can fake putting a man on the moon, but we can't get a decent station that features stuff like AOTS used to? Someone needs to get Bill Gates to create or fund a station already. Tell him it will feed African Kids and occasionally show stupid stuff from around the net.

The intended viewing demographic for material of that nature, 18 to 24 college males, doesn't watch television anymore in a way that satisfies advertisers.

There are plenty of websites that have full coverage of the convention.

Couldn't find any relevant thread for SDCC 2013, so I'm using this one to share my photo sets from SDCC last month, in a Flickr collection:

Great stuff. I had a feeling that Bri-Garcia (One of those Mad Hatters) would make it into the cos-sets. Love her Art and Vids.
