'The Sci Fi Channel' becomes the 'Syfy' Channel

June 19th 2009 16:35
Following in the footsteps of The Discovery Channel (now just Discovery Channel) and The History Channel (now just History), the Sci Fi Channel has announced it is changing it's name to "Syfy". Um...good for them?

I never really got the whole renaming of networks thing, but okay then. If you want to know why the big change is happening, read on for the press release below.




A new brand of entertainment is on the rise. On July 7th, Sci Fi Channel becomes Syfy and, when it does, your adventure begins. The first step will be easy: Imagine Greater. It means that at Syfy anything is possible. Everything you love will come along for the ride. And everything else will be exciting and new - including the look of the place!

Starting this summer, new shows like Warehouse 13, SGU: Stargate Universe and Caprica will join our rich slate of returning favorites like Eureka, Ghost Hunters and many more, to bring you bolder science fiction, stronger drama, faster action, bigger adventure, deeper mystery, louder laughs and...well, you get the idea.

It's going to be imagination at its finest, and it'll live everywhere, on every screen. Here at the newly designed Syfy.com, you'll catch all your favorite shows and web series. Technology, gaming and entertainment news will continue to be just clicks away at our popular blogs Dvice, Figit and Sci Fi Wire. And our mobile site and iPhone apps will engage your imagination wherever you go, whenever you want.


Syfy begins July 7th during the premiere of Warehouse 13. Until then, make yourself at home, and prepare to Imagine Greater. We'll see you soon.

In other Sci Fi news, Wolf Lake will be showing today from 8AM-4PM.
