SciFi Channel will change its name to Syfy Channel on July 7th, when it launches the new series Warehouse 13, according to TV Week. The network believes that the new name more accurately reflects content on the channel, which is broader than traditional science fiction. Warehouse 13, about a secret government facility where mysterious relics are stored, exemplifies this broader content.

The new name may make it easier to attract audiences not traditionally attracted to science fiction, particularly female viewers.

Lame. TV just keeps getting worse.

they know they're dicked with the cash cow BSG all done

Caprica wont be nearly as successful and they allowed SGA to ruin the stargate name

Its more like they're changing their name to hide I wont play their heres 10 episoides wait 8 months for the other 10 bullshit with any show again; I held on for BSG because it was BSG and not some polished turd.

SG:universe could be worth watching

but the mid season breaks really frak me off

[Myk JL 1,731]

I only watch SciFi for Anime & rarely ECW. So even if they change it to something that goofy it's not going to matter much to me as I hate the majority of their programing anyway.

[Ladywriter 7,783]

I'd like to check out SGU but I did sort of promise myself after going through waiting hell with BSG that I wouldnt play the shit again. I can get the eps online I dun need si fi or sy fy or screw the fanbase or whatever they want to call themselves now.

changing the name wont get more women viewers,

women generally dont like sci-fi, a name change wont solve that, unless a women is channel browsing and decides to actually pause on a chanel that has a lol name

i explained it to my GF and she said: Why?? like that will make me watch it cos it has a stupid name

That says it all. ><

That's just... um... great.

[slippers 3,168]

Whenever I watch Sci-fi, there's always weird monster movies on like two legged shark or 3 headed snake that looks totally fake.

I wonder what kind of name Lifetime will change it to to attract male viewers.

I don't think they'll ever attract a male audiance... Too many movies about women who have just been "raped" by men. Not that I don't take that problem lightly. Just that they sound like if they could they'd do an all male version of the Holocaust.
