One of the most baffling things I find as a gamer is the lack of quality TV shows about games. Playr seems to have died a tragic death, The Ginx Files is fairly good, as is GameFace, but that's where the trail ends. Well good news today as the UK is to get its first 24/7 videogaming TV channel. Which will start at the end of November.Our saviours are Ginx TV the lot behind Gameface, and the channel will be shown on Virgin and Sky channels.
CEO Michiel Bakker had the following to say;''The Ginx channel is going to be an evolution rather than an overnight revolution. Is it a good TV show to watch people play games? Does that make for good TV? If it does we'll do it. If it doesn't we won't.You have to understand that in a 24 hour channel there will be elements of repeat. We're not doing 24 hours fresh content one hour after the other. That would be too ambitious. So there's a healthy level of repeat in it.Ginx TV is hoping to launch with four shows, and may be in HD. Hopefully it will be able to tread the fine line between being informative whilst not coming across as patronising.

Yay!
Overweight fanboys doing exactly what we could be doing at the same time...
Game programmes don't really work considering that if you are using (i.e watching) a tele your likely to be playing a game if you care that much.

the internet. There is surely tonnes of game stuff on youtube alone. Charlie brooker or zero punctuation are the only games things i've seen worth a watch, rest is usually cheap tacky shite with silly presenters pulling stupid faces right?

GamesMaster rocked!
Although that blonde woman who hosts GameFace is annoying as fuck.
