G4 is shutting down — again.
Comcast Spectacor, the cable and entertainment giant’s sports and esports division, told G4 TV employees Sunday that the gaming network was shutting down effective immediately. The decision has resulted in 45 staff members of G4 TV losing their jobs.
In a memo, obtained by Variety, Comcast Spectacor chairman and CEO Dave Scott cited low viewership and said the network had not achieved “sustainable financial results.”
“Over the past several months, we worked hard to generate that interest in G4, but viewership is low and the network has not achieved sustainable financial results,” Scott wrote. “This is certainly not what we hoped for, and, as a result, we have made the very difficult decision to discontinue G4’s operations, effective immediately.“
Comcast Spectacor in July 2020 said it would reboot G4 TV, which NBCUniversal shut down in 2013 (after the network first launched in 2002). Russell Arons, the former Warner Bros.,...

Amelia Earhart is one of the kickass women of history. Unfortunately, her recent Hilary Swank biopic (which hit DVD shelves today) was anything but, reducing her to a pile of romance and a film that came up quite short. But could a new indie in the works show how it should've been done, even if she isn't the lead?
Variety reports that producers James Moll and Brian Terwilliger have snagged the rights to aviation pioneer Louise Thaden's life in order to develop a feature about the Women's Air Derby -- an all-female transcontinental air race that flew across the skies in 1929. The showdown featured 20 female pilots, including Thaden, Earhart, Pancho Barnes, and Blanche Noyes. The race stretched from Cleveland, Ohio to Santa Monica, California over 8 days, and Ms. Thaden came in first. (Earhart's plane was damaged, Barnes got lost and flew into Mexico, Noyes had an in-flight fire...)
Okay, so sure,...
