X-Play and AotS ... gone

Wow. That means almost every TV show I used to like is gone. And there really isn't any geek-friendly TV left (well, certainly no channels with any extensive coverage of games or tech-related stuff). I gather this is all part of G4's change to Esquire (great, just what we need ... more Spike TV).
I used to watch these shows when they were on the long-gone TechTV (and AotS was The Screen Savers, and much, much better). The transfer to G4 didn't thrill me, but at least these shows still catered to people like myself. But, despite the success of shows like Big Bang Theory, apparently there isn't any market for video game or tech-related channels.
This is at least the third channel I've watched regularly that's been disappeared in the last ten years. Apparently I don't exist as any sort of demographic at all. Apparently there is no one like me who watches these channels.
Apparently, the networks are making this a self-fulfilling prophecy, for I find fewer and fewer reasons to even watch TV. And many reasons not to.
