Sci Fi is an American cable television channel, launched in September of 1992 and currently owned by corporate conglomerate NBC Universal Cable. The Sci Fi Channel specializes in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and paranormal programming. More than a decade after its launch, Sci Fi continues to attract industry-wide interest in achievements, most recently winning an Emmy for its history-making Steven Spielberg Presents Taken—the biggest miniseries ever on television. In the last few years, the channel has undergone a massive re-design and has become one of cable's leaders in the production of high-quality original programming.
[edit] Programming Highlights
The Sci Fi Channel is a television network where "what if" is what's on. Sci Fi fuels the imagination of viewers with original series and events, blockbuster movies, and classic science fiction and fantasy programming. Launched in 1992 and is currently available in 84 million homes worldwide. In 2004, Sci Fi doubled its dramatic series development, added a full slate of “alternative reality” series and launched three major miniseries events. The channel broke a number of ratings records, most notably with the launch of its newest series Stargate Atlantis, a companion series to Sci Fi’s top-rated Stargate SG-1. Add to that 22 original Saturday night action movies and the debut of the channel’s very first animated series, and Sci Fi has wrapped its best year ever. The channel's Friday line-up—the biggest night of sci-fi on television—adds to the unparalleled ratings success of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Sci Fi also welcomes its newest original drama to the Friday line-up, Battlestar Galactica, based on the channel's critically-acclaimed 2003 miniseries.
