While the channel no longer airs the latter programming, it would eventually expanded into western-produced, adult animation. On the other hand, they were also the original American broadcaster of Doctor Who and a number of anime titles.
#AFTERMATH REVIEW SYFY PROFESSIONAL#
On one hand, the channel was notorious for littering its schedules with non-genre action movies, crime dramas, and reality shows, as well for airing Professional Wrestling from the WWE. Syfy has waxed and waned in Network Decay by showing either less actual science fiction or more of it. The name change was applied to some of the international versions of the channel, but others kept variations of the original name due to translation troubles with the new name, particularly in central and southern Europe. "Syfy" is pronounced exactly the same as "Sci Fi," a moniker that is distinct from the genre's generic name so that it could be trademarked and more easily searched online. The channel adapted its current name in 2009 as part of a larger shift in programming to offer more mainstream appeal to general audiences and women. Over the years, the channel's film output has run the gauntlet from adaptations of comic books (like Painkiller Jane) to B-grade disaster movies and Attack of the Killer Whatever films. Syfy's original films have also garnered a reputation of their own. Unfortunately, they also have a history of canceling their own shows prematurely. Their original series tend to be Cult Classics, and the network has a history of salvaging cancelled shows from other networks and renewing them. Founded in 1992 as the Sci-Fi Channel (in its later years, simply "Sci Fi"), the network's remit is to air various kinds of Speculative Fiction, from science/fantasy and paranormal to their own produced movies and shows. Outside of the United States, local versions exist in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and a dozen or so other countries (sometimes under the name Syfy Universal). Syfy is a channel owned by NBCUniversal (itself owned by media giant Comcast).
