Comcast's G4 cable network is close to getting the rights to air "Star Trek" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," it was reported Monday.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter the acquisitions will lead Comcast's effort to reposition G4's branding, which has struggled as a network geared toward video gamers.

"Star Trek" and its spinoffs have been syndication fixtures since its original blossomed there after its late 1960s network run.
