When Comcast announced it was acquiring TechTV, Vulcan Prgramming Inc.'s technology news and entertainment cable television network (founded by Ziff Davis Media), it was assumed that at least some of the station's programming would be combined with Comcast's own G4 video game network. On May 6, Comcast announced it is firing 285 TechTV San Francisco workers. Or, as TechTV's own Leo Laporte put it: Comcast Fires TechTV Staff. The fate of TechTV's original programming and TV personalities, including The Screen Savers, Tech Live, X-Play, Fresh Gear and others, has not yet been announced.
