It keeps the same name, but not everything on there is Science Fiction, so they needed to change it. It is fine.

Well then they should've given it a whole new name altogether instead of just spelling Sci-Fi differently!

Well like i said, it just irritates me for some reason, and I also heard that their won't be many more Sci-fi original films after the name change, which pisses me off even more!

I don't have cable so I can't watch anyways, but I still do watch the Sci-fi original films once they're on DVD, and i'm still pissed off that there's not likely to be many more Sci-fi original films since I love them so much.

Yeah they were popular! they always got pretty high ratings when they aired, if they weren't popular then Sci-fi would've stopped producing them long ago.

Why would they keep making similar films for 6 years if nobody saw them? There's 20-30 of them every year, and to make that many for that long would be stupid if they weren't being watched.
The mere fact that they've done so many for so long is proof that they're popular.

Okay, well what the hell does this have to do with the spelling? Vexer you don't even have the channel, and it is common knowledge that the sci fi films are usually hated.

He's allowed to vent, man. We're on a forum, afterall, and that's allowed for him to do that. I feel the same way, it's irritating and doesn't make sense at all. That is about the stupidest title change of all time.
The title change was completely unnecessary. I get that Sci-Fi is trying to expand their viewership, and that's all well and good. The problem is that they're still a Sci-Fi network. They still air horror, science fiction and fantasy related stuff, which they've always done. If they stopped, they would alienate most of their core audience, and we know they're not stupid enough to do that. So what's wrong with calling a Sci-Fi channel the Sci-Fi Network? Second, the name itself is stupid. When it comes to cable channels, you have to use your name to establish yourself as a brand and be instantly recognizable to potential viewers. That's why so many channels are "The Blah-Blah Channel." You know what you're getting when you turn on the History Channel or the Golf Channel; even for ones that don't do that like Spike or F/X, the names are still indicative of their content. If you're not associating Syfy with science fiction anymore, what are audiences supposed to think of it? And the last thing that bugs meā¦this hasn't changed their line-up any. They still show the same original sci-fi movies and old cancelled horror shows, they still have the same target audience. It's just a stupid name.
I've come to terms with it, but I'm never going to call it by that new name and will still refer to it as Sci-Fi for now and forever because I can, and he can do the same thing.
