G4 (Australian TV channel)

==History==
===Proposals and early years (2000 – 2004)===
In January 2002, in an effort to mimic traditional prime-time programming, G4 introduced the weeknites@8 program block, which broadcasted (hence its name) Monday to Friday nights at 8:00 PM AEST.
A test run was initiated from 14th – 18th January 2002, and weeknites@8 premiered effective 1st April 2002. Despite receiving positive reception, the block was quietly discontinued on 9th May 2003.
===Decline and cutback of original programs (2004 – 2009)===
In December 2008, G4 announced its permanent discontinuation of original programming after six years; this came after the announcement of the cancellation of G4's long-running Project metaseries that began at the channel's launch in January 2001.
===Final years and shutdown (2009 – 2014)===
On Tuesday, 30th September 2014 at 1:59 PM AEST, the Australian G4 counterpart closed down after airing an episode of In Real Life. The channel's website, g4.com.au, closed down on 1st January 2015, and 
all other mentions of G4 had been discontinued or closed down by the end of January 2015.
