On March 25, 2004, Comcast's G4 gaming channel announced a merger with TechTV. This move became controversial  among loyal fans of TechTV. Around May 6, G4 announced the termination of 250 employees from the San Francisco office by July 10, 2004, allowing approximately 80 to 100 employees to transition to G4's main office in Los Angeles, California if they agreed to relocate there. Chang was terminated and did not make the move to Los Angeles.

Chang announced in December 2007 that he would be leaving "DL.TV" to join Revision3 in January 2008. Chang also appears as a panelist  on "This Week in Tech". On the show he explained he was leaving "DL.TV" to join Patrick Norton and Jim Louderback at Revision3. Chang has joined "Tekzilla" and "Systm" vidcasts at Revision3 as the senior producer (and probable feature host). Chang co-hosts a podcast with Tom Merritt, "East Meets West", which deals with various topics such as sports, technology, and politics. The company UCMore has used, for marketing purposes for their search tool, a quote from Chang -- “I started using it two days ago and I can't stop using it"—which Chang has said was taken out of context  by the Google AdSense advertising system. He explained in an episode of "This Week in Tech" that the quote is misleading because it was taken from an episode of "Call for Help" that aired several years earlier.
