March of this year and they did it to make the name look less geeky/more hip. I doubt it’s going to change their demographic: I can’t stand the genre and the name change isn’t going to make me want to watch.
Isaac Asimov AND Robert A Heinlein are spinning in their graves! John Campbell, Arthur C Clarke, etc.
The “Great ones” birthed the Golden Age of Science Fiction. And THEY called it “Sci-Fi”!
I think SyFy is to accomodate the texters. Also, they want to be hip and “cutting edge”.
