Popular culture

Its name has since been the inspiration for the name of a satirical website, The Daily Raider.[4] It has also been the subject of jokes in the webcomic Penny Arcade.^[5]

The website was mentioned on the television show

Whose Line is it Anyway? when one of the reviewers employed by the website was sung to by Wayne Brady in the style of Britney Spears.^[6]

Nintendo lawsuit and closure

Daily Radar was the center of a lawsuit brought against its parent company,

Imagine Media by Nintendo. Nintendo alleged that Daily Radar used Pokémon images and the name "Pokemon" in their publication "100% Unofficial Pokémon Trainer's Guide". In response, Daily Radar ceased all reporting on Nintendo in January 2001.^[7] Four months later, on May 1, 2001, Imagine Media shut down Daily Radar.^[2]

On August 23, 2010, Daily Radar's website and all sub-sites (BallHype, ShowHype and several Daily Radar Blips sites) were replaced with a notice that they were "no longer being supported."[8] Today URLs for Daily Radar redirect to the website TechRadar instead.
