G4 (Canadian TV channel)
G4techTV Canada is a Canadian cable and satellite television channel co-owned by Comcast, Rogers Media and Shaw Communications. It is entirely operated by Rogers Media.
It was known as TechTV Canada until May 28, 2004, at which point it was renamed as a result of the merger between TechTV and G4 in the United States. On February 15, 2005, less than a year after the merger, the United States G4techTV was renamed back to G4. Although most links from G4techTV Canada's website redirect to G4, the co-ownership and licensing with the CRTC as a technology-related network prevents the network's name in Canada from being changed.
Although G4techTV Canada airs most of the G4techTV shows, its schedule largely differs from its United States counterpart. It is home to both Call for Help with Leo Laporte and Gadgets & Gizmos with Marc Saltzman. The shows taping locations were moved to the Rogers Media studios in Toronto, Canada after being cancelled on its United States counterpart as a result of the merger. Due to CRTC restrictions, Anime Unleashed is not aired in Canada.
