FALL 2013: ESQUIRE NETWORK TO DEBUT


Get ready for your cable box to make space for one more channel this fall. Well actually if you had G4 then you already have the space. NBCUniversal will add another channel to its immense and mostly forgettable cable television line-up. The Esquire Network is set to debut September 23rd and will be geared towards, not surprisingly, men. But this channel will be different because it is aimed towards the sophisticated men...not the Joe Six-Pack type of men.

Details are still sketchy on its line-up of shows but it will be a mix of new, original programs and NBC reruns. According to its website, the original shows include Knife Fight (chefs battle each other in an underground cooking fight club), The Getaway (follow celebrities to their favorite travel destinations just to hate on them a little more), Brew Dogs, Risky Listing, and How I Rock It.

Reruns of Parks and Recreation, American Ninja Warrior, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and long-ago canceled Starz show Party Down, are also being advertised as part of the new network's schedule. We'll see how long this venture lasts before being re-branded into another channel.

Keep it locked to Stay Tuned for anything and everything television!
