NEXT week the cable channel G4 will morph into 4G.

This logo is to be used as part of a campaign to promote Sprint Nextel's fourth-generation wireless Internet service on the G4 channel.


In a letter-swapping promotion for Sprint Nextel’s next-generation wireless Internet service, the name of the channel will change for seven days, affecting all its logos and shows. The campaign begins Monday.

And someone made a "the Evos old news " thread tsk tsk..

Didn't G4 give a not so glowing review of the EVO? Idiots.

Well, some people still watch G4, I only watch 4G if I'm streaming a movie on my EVO. But if Olivia Munn is on, I'll watch just about anything!

That review was total BS. I noticed today they removed that review from their Gadget Pron archives. That's some pretty good evidence that they take money under the table for their 'reviews'.

G4?

Most of their lineup is garbage but I find Attack Of The Show pretty entertaining. Oh yea, and one of the colleges that Campus PD frequently visits is where I went to school so that's always interesting to watch.

LoL they scored the EVO a 3 out of 5, because of the extra 10 dollar charge to use the phone..but wouldv'e been 4 out of 5..i was like you guys tell the world even with the extra 10 dollars..Sprint still have the best and cheapest plans PERIOD.

 

[silliybilly]

Great, now more people will want EVO's after watching G4. I better call and get on a few more waiting lists!! lol

Not only did they give the EVO a less than stellar review, but they continuously dogged on Sprint's 4G network. All the people on AOTS are either Apple leghumpers or Verizon leghumpers.

That channel is a fail. Sprint should be promoting MORE on local channels. WTF?
