Esquire Network Rescheduled to Launch Sept. 23; Antenna TV Coming to Columbus, OH

The upcoming launch of Esquire Network was delayed and now we have a rescheduled launch date! It was first set to launch in April, but just days before the launch they delayed it. So the network didn't rebrand and change the name from G4 just yet. Esquire Network will debut on Monday, September 23, 2013. The network will kick off primetime with a two-hour special that commemorates Esquire magazine's landmark 80th anniversary, timed to coincide with the October debut of the magazine's anniversary issue. The original Esquire 80th Anniversary Special (WT) will look back at the social, political and cultural forces that shaped our lives over the last eight decades - told through the lens of the magazine, its stories, images and covers.

As we mentioned, Esquire Network's offering will include contemporary series making their network premiere, including: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Parks and Recreation, Party Down, Burn Notice, and Psych. No word yet if the schedule they announced in April will be the schedule for the new launch date. We hope it is so we see some classic series as well like The A-Team, Airwolf and Magnum P.I.
