SciFi Becomes SyFy – Still Airs Star Trek Reruns - This morning the Sci-Fi Channel, cable home of reruns for Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek The Next Generation, completed its rebranding and it is now SyFy. To celebrate the change, the channel has opened an "Imagination Park" in New York and is premiering a new series today (Warehouse 13). Details below

We hope this works out for The Channel Formerly Known As SciFi, but it seems awfully risky. True science fiction fans and longtime fans of the network are left scratching their heads, thinking they're not good enough anymore... and the folks that have never watched the channel are wondering if they're really stupid enough to tune in now that it's 'SyFy' and not 'SciFi.'

Other networks have changed names and branding, but it came with a change in programming as well. Spike, for instance, used to be TNN but moved to an edgier, more action-packed lineup to specifically attract younger males. We know SyFy wants to attract a larger audience, but what else are they prepared to do to accomplish that?

All we can do is wait and see, and hope it doesn't mean changing the things that we liked so much from our 'SciFi' channel.
