G4 is being renamed the Esquire channel. Still hoping Ninja Warrior is moved to NBC Sports. My interest in the rebranding went from 0 to -14. I do have hope about ANW moving completely to NBC but we'll see.

I laugh at the high and mighty attitude.. Everyone laughed because it was ridiculous. Sasuke is Japanese. Always has been always will be. "English" Sasuke has already happened. That's ANW. Get over it.

I mean editing SASUKE for English viewership. Lol I'm not going to hold my own tournament EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I wish I could hold my own SASUKE tournament... and I've thought about it... but no, that would be highly unrealistic.

The bigger problem was that you were trying to make an english version with no japanese knowledge... Honestly if you could get a real translator for it, I'd be happy to help, I have knowledge in fansubbing and if I need something I don't know, I know who to turn to... So if someone could translate the tournament And give a plain text script I can turn it into a full subbed version...

Yes but how many people are willing (and capable) to translate a 3 1/2 hour program from Japanese to English for free?

Yeah let's get this back on topic. We can talk about this later.
Esquire Channel? To take a page from Rider's playbook, esquirechannelfail.mp3
We already have Spike TV for that and that's already a stupid channel. I wonder if any channel will pick up AotS or X-Play.

No no no, the fail mp3s are two syllables for the name before saying fail, they're adapted from this song and match up to that As for AotS and X-Play getting picked up... That's not happening... the original channel is dropping them and they produced them... I don't see why another channel would pick them up... if they really wanted something like that they'd make their own version anyways...

I get it... You can only have two syllables. Thus "esquire" needs to be translated to two syllables. The "es" is the same and "kir" has the same I sound as "quire", and since Japanese doesn't have that "qu" sound, "es-kir-fai-ru" makes the most logical sense.
And now, back on topic.
Esquire Channel is a stupid channel.

Esquire Channel?
Fits the bill entirely. Think about it, it's exactly what they want.
Key word: THEY.

Aside from the fact it'd be ku wai, エスクワイアー (Esukuwaiaa, pronounced Eh-su-ku-wai-ah (Note: The su is fast, like the su in Sasuke or Shunsuke)) would be how "Esquire" Would be said in japanese... It just doesn't work... And yes it is a stupid name... for a stupid idea... from a channel run by idiots...

The only reason this is being called a rebranding is because NBC does not want to come out and say directly that they have killed G4 and are moving something else over the dead body. Probably because they want to trick people into keeping the channel when it changes over.
Also, I am going to guess that none of you have ever picked up an issue of Esquire. It is not quite Spike TV redux.

Probably because they want to trick people into keeping the channel when it changes over. Which means nothing to DirecTV people lol I mean they already killed their only decent exclusive shows... And unless they're keeping Ninja Warrior and to a lesser degree ANW I don't see why anyone would want it...

Well they even hired a whole new set of people and a completely different company is heading Esquire TV and none of the G4 people will be around. Agreed with Ube that it's dead.. sorta like when you hear "oh a new announcement is coming up next week" on a radio station only to hear it's a different format and everyone before that was fired
