A channel I really wish I could get my hands on would be G4tv. I'd dump all of the reality garbage (Cop, Cheaters, Sexy Ladies show, etc) and take it back to being the tech/geek/gaming channel it used to be. The channel has really become a wasteland.
I'd bring back tech shows of all sorts definitely, whether they're game shows (ala Arena), informative news based (G4tv.com, Electric Playground, etc), nostalgia based (Icons/GameMakers, Filter), and the regular gaming shows (Players, Cheat, etc). I'd try to establish a daily late-night block for that AS/AniMonday competition. It would have some anime, western adult animation, and maybe a cult comedy series or two. There would be a rotating cult/sci fi movie block and the station mainstays (X-Play, AOTS) would probably stay the same. Other things that I'd like would be an early morning block with old sci-fi cartoons (Transformers, COPS, Voltron, etc), a movie review show and a show that goes in depth into movies with cult followings. Lastly, I'd try to put serious effort into annual events (E3, ComicCon, G-Phoria) and the news in general. With serious competition from the net, you'd really need news with more depth and exclusive reports. Of course, none of this would ever happen and probably wouldn't succeed but I'd still love to see a station like that.

Oh, and G4 needs to replace 'X-Play' with 'Reviews On The Run'. (Formally 'Judgment Day) I miss Tommy, and Vic. They were like the Siskel, and Ebert of the gaming industry. Adam, and Morgan can't hold a candle to them.

G4TV. Make it actually about video games again and get rid of that stupid Attack of the Show and those stupid Cops reruns and japenese game shows.

G4: Five words: The. Return. Of. Tech TV. The channel could return to being G4TechTV, only for real this time. I'd bring back The Screen Savers, Call For Help, Reviews on the Run and Eye Drops and remove any show that has zip to do with tech or video games. No more Cops, Cheaters, Campus PD, or Attack of the Show, but I'd keep Web Soup, though (I watch that show and it is internet related).

G4: Resurrect TechTV and merge G4 with it, but make it an actual merger this time, not just a thinly veiled takeover by G4. Remove the Spike TV wannabe shows like Cops, Cheaters, Attack of the Show, Whacked Out Videos, International Sexy Ladies Show, etc. and bring back the tech/nerd/gamer-centric shows like The Screen Savers/The Lab with Leo Laporte, Arena, Cinematech, Game Makers, CyberCrime, Filter (the game-centric one, not the lame party-frat boy knockoff starring Beth O), Reviews on the Run, Robot Wars, Beat the Geeks (which used to air on G4TechTV Canada), Eye Drops, The Tech Of..., Anime Unleashed, G4TechTV.com, etc.
