Sci Fi Channel Morphs Into SyFy
The Sci Fi Channel will soon be no longer!
Starting in June, the NBC-owned network will be known as Syfy!
Why the switcharoo???
The channel, primarily known for their Battlestar Galactica and Stargate reruns, wants to break out of the sci-fi mold they've created for themselves over the past 16 years and expand into fantasy and "imagine-based entertainment."
The network name swap will be supported by the tagline, "Imagine Greater."
Network prez Dave Howe explains the name change as a necessity to attract a broader audience. "We love being sci fi… But we're more than just space and aliens and the future — the three things most people think of when they think of 'sci fi.' What this does is hopefully gives us the best of both worlds. You keep the heritage, but also open up to a broader range of content."
The Sci Fi Channel also ran into problems with trademarking the Sci Fi brand!
"We're going to have upwards of 50 Sci Fi Channels in various territories and yet you cannot trademark 'Sci Fi' anywhere in the world," explained Howe. "A new logo design would not solve that particular challenge. We needed a brand name that was own-able, portable and extendable."
Makes sense to us!

Re: pinkhotluv – LOL, and so true! Love the channel, but their Sci Fi-produced movies are the worst!

Re: .perezhilton.com –
Careful, he'll ban you too.
Just make up a ryhme like your friend lizardking did.
PEREZ SUCKS TEDDY'S BALLS!~~~~
OMG really?
Your such a smart guy!
I hope they pick up the show invasion, it was good and ended unfinished.
:O)
Can't get it here.. don't care.
We've got The Space Channel. Way less commercials, no censorship and no edited or sped up shows so they can fit in more ad space.
fantasy and "imagine-based entertainment? Isn't that just another way of saying the same thing. Get real, the new name is dumb, especially if you have to explain it.
What will scifi have after Battlestar ends? Nothing. They suck. They should stop wasting money on those pile of shit original movies. There's a new on every week and they're progressively worse.
They need to get the funding for 2 or 3 new series of the same production quality as Battlestar before I'll give them a second glance.
What a completely idiotic move.
This sucks! I love the shows they play and even the bad movies. It's the ONLY channel on cable without digital service that you can watch sci-fi type stuff.
lame and the new logo is retarded
Hell they haven't been SciFi since they started showing wrestling. WRESTLING for God's sake. I guess wrestling is "Imagine-based entertainment". Puke.
What is the deal with the specialty networks abandoning the programming they were created for?
more like SYPHILIS CHANNEL
Ok im just gonna say it, are you stealing these things from /film? I know its not stealing cuz its everywhere but every time they post something you post it next. I mean they posted macgyver and then you did and now this? Just saying you should give credit where ever you found it.
why the fuck couldn't they have thought of a GOOD one?
Watch Battlestar Galactica series finale friday at 10!!!!!
well my father is going to be very upset when he finds out he wont be able to watch the twilight zone marathons.
That is so fucking dumb!
Jesus.. first they keep getting rid of the only good shows they have, all of their movies are crap, now this?!
who cares? the only good thing they play on the channel is The Twilight Zone.
…whats the difference exactly?
wtf? well that kinda sucks….
