Come to the UK, would you watch it

For those who don't know about it, G4 is a TV channel in the US which is supposed to cater to the video game/computer nerd audience, but recently they've started to try to cater to the male audience by showing programmes like Star Trek and The Man Show and has attracted a lot of critisim because of that.

But if G4 were to come to the UK, would you watch it anyway?
 
No, I wouldn't watch any 'gaming' channels, since I think they use the term so loosely it's in danger of falling off.

They either get the presenters who do play games, whilst trying to look cooler/funkier than you at every verse end, or models who wouldn't know what a joypad was if you beat them to a bloody pulp with it.

Then you get 5 minute slots of a particular game which tells you nothing much about how it really is to play, then you get mobile phone download adverts. Oh..joy!

Nah, I think getting info from the usual suspects online then either buying, renting or borrowing the game is much more effective than anything you can get off these channels.
