History
Pulse was the definitive news source for video games on G4. Rounding up the week's news in a professional-newscast style, Pulse has interviewed such greats as Peter Molyneux, creators of Homestar Runner and Shigeru Miyamoto. During the network merger between TechTV and G4, Pulse got a visual makeover just in time for E3 2004. However in November of the same year, Pulse was canceled by the network, in order to focus on the newly-revamped TSS (now AOTS). The idea was, instead of making Pulse a daily live show, to use the current daily live show the network had to air the news as well as variety of other segments, topics and guests.
Tidbits
-Pulse was one of the 13 original shows to debut with G4
-Pulse was originally a half-hour show but it was expanded to an hour later on.
-In between commercials for other shows, Pulse aired "Pulse Headlines" which was a quick, daily text review of the day's headlines in gaming.
