Historia
The Sci-Fi Channel es un canal de televisión lanzado el 24 de setiembre de 1992 creado por los diseñadores Mitchell Rubenstein y Silvers Laurie (dos empresarios de Boca Raton) que actualmente poseen HomeTown Cable en el sur de Florida.[1] En marzo de 1992 fueron elegidos para trabajar en USA Networks, que también al mismo tiempo con Paramount Pictures y Universal Studios.[2] [3]
Cambio de nombre
El 16 de marzo de 2009, Sci Fi ha anunciado que cambiará su nombre a Syfy, para poner fin a la confusión sobre cómo aprovechar y estilizar su nombre y como parte de un continuo esfuerzo de renovación de la marca. Funcionarios de la red también tomó nota de que, a diferencia del término genérico de "ciencia ficción", que representa a toda la ciencia ficción de género, el término "Syfy" pueden ser protegidos por marcas y por lo tanto sería más fácil al mercado de otros bienes o servicios, sin temor a confusión con 'empresas de otros productos. El único antecedente importante uso del término "Syfy" en relación a la ciencia ficción fue por el sitio web de Syfy Portal, que se convirtió en Airlock Alfa después de vender la marca a NBC Universal (representado por la Shell Company) en febrero.[4]
