It appears to have two shows that ever get new episodes in X-Play and Attack of the Show. Other than that, the TV Guide says it's nothing but reruns of Cops and Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan, with the occasional Ninja Warrior thrown in. I haven't had access to the channel in almost five years, so I haven't paid any attention to it, but it's weird how far the channel has actually fallen. I remember when I first gained access to the channel through the merger (read: takeover) with TechTV, and it was one of my favorite channels. I also actually got some enjoyment from it five years ago.

What happened, and why do they let a monkey determine their television lineup?

IIRC, I read somewhere that it actually is the lowest rated "major" cable network in the country.

It is quite sad how far it has fallen. TechTv was awesome! When the merger happened, its first few months were really good, but than it just went to s***.

The sad thing is that its ratings probably are still better than when it was a dedicated gaming channel, or they wouldn't have ever changed it

I remember when it came on, 14 year old me was excited at the idea.

Then I watched and it was terrible and I never watched again.

I remember I enjoyed Arena; watching the fights in UT2k3 was always great. Then it pissed me off one day when they played Mario Kart: Double Dash and the losing team retorted that it was a kiddy game and the announcers seemed to back them.

Those two shows are enough for a cable network these days. I'm like 2 weeks behind on AOTS. Plenty of content.
