@@RetroTechorDie That's a great dream. The studio staff were great to work with. I benefitted from being one of the many San Francisco State University BECA students who benefitted from geography and the network's internship program with the university. I was REALLY lucky to make inroads with GameSpot TV's production staff since I started as an intern one the studio floor. I was NOT a fit for the studio dept.. To this day, I cannot wrap studio cable properly. I clicked well enough with GameSpot TV as an intern that I had a PA position waiting for me the Monday after graduation.
I grew-up watching zdtv/techtv. There was a local station in the Philippines which carried those shows. It triggered the path to technology due to those guys, I learned a lot. Was instrumental why I'm in cybersecurity today.
I got in on silicon spin once. They were talking about open source and I asked something about rebranding a linux distribution and calling it your own. I was not able to find it in any of the archives though.
I loved TechTv. I often used what I learned the night before in my computer repair job the next day. I understand how you not being much of an anime guy, wouldn't like 'time slot filler' as much, but I can tell you I appreciated the shows they added much more than the OTHER channel I watched at the time: SCIFI. It went through it's own corporate metamorphosis. But having anime on TechTv seemed a lot more natural than Wrestling and international news on SIFY (ugh I hate that name change worse than G4)
I'm enjoying this so far. Thanks for this. Speaking as a producer on GameSpot TV-then later-Extended Play, this really takes me back.
When I was working as a Master Control operator and other jobs at our local TV stations I always dreamed of working for Tech TV…

I would rather be on the production side any day 😂
Very fun walk through techtv! I show lal of these shows (some less than others) on my fan channel! Thanks for making this video!
I loved those Shows watched them all the time
I'm too old to have been inspired or validated by tech TV but l loved watching the show back in the day. thanks for the walk down memory lane

Enjoyed it. Also remember being super bummed seeing what G4 turned into.
Yea G4 really screwed everything up
What a legend

I wish more of Silicon Spin was archived.

Great point, I agree anime is more appropriate for the TechTv audience
