As of November 2023,Syfy is available to approximately 69,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2011 peak of 99,000,000 households.[2]

History

[edit]

In 1989, inBoca Raton, Florida,communications attorneys and cable TV entrepreneurs Mitchell Rubenstein and his wife and business partner Laurie Silvers devised the concept for theSci-Fi Channel,and signed up 8 of the top 10 cable TV operators as well as licensing exclusive rights to the British TV seriesDoctor Who(which shifted over fromPBSto Sci-Fi Channel),Dark Shadows,and the cult seriesThe Prisoner.

In 1992, the channel was sold by Rubenstein and Silvers toUSA Networks,then ajoint venturebetweenParamount PicturesandUniversal Pictures.[3][4]Rubenstein and Silvers became vice-chairs of USA Networks. The channel was seen as a natural fit with classic films and television series that both studios had in their vaults, including Universal'sDracula,Frankenstein,and theRod SerlingTV seriesNight Gallery,along with Paramount'sStar Trektelevision series.

Star Trek's creatorGene Roddenberryand authorIsaac Asimovwere recruited by Rubenstein and Silvers to serve on the initial advisory board,[5]but both Roddenberry and Asimov had died by the time the channel finally launched on September 24, 1992. Rubenstein recalled: "The first thing that was on the screen was 'Dedicated to the memories of Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry'."[6]Leonard Nimoywas master of ceremonies at the channel's launch party, held at theHayden PlanetariuminManhattan.Asimov's widowJanetand Roddenberry's widowMajel Barrettwere both in attendance.[6]The first program shown on the network was the filmStar Wars.[7]

In 1994, Paramount was sold toViacom,followed bySeagram's purchase of a controlling stake inMCA(of which Universal was a subsidiary) from theMatsushita Electric Industrial Companythe next year.[8]In 1997, Viacom sold its stake in USA Networks to Universal, who spun off all its television assets toBarry Dillerthe next year into the new companyStudios USA.Three years later, Diller would sell Studios USA back to Universal, by then a subsidiary ofVivendiSA (at the time known as Vivendi Universal). Vivendi's film and television production and cable television assets were then merged withGeneral Electric'sNBCto formNBC Universalin 2004. In 2009 the network was rebranded asSyfy,and in 2010Comcastpurchased Syfy's parent companyNBCUniversal.[citation needed]Comcast was one of the original cable TV operators to carry the channel.

Ahigh definitionversion of the channel launched on October 3, 2007, onDirecTV.[9]

In 2013, Syfy was given theJames Randi Educational Foundation'sPigasus Awardfor what was described as questionablerealityprogramming involvingparanormalsubjects.[10]

Branding history

[edit]
Sci Fi logo, 2002–2009

From 1992 to 1999, the network's first logo consisted of a planet with a ring, made to look likeSaturn,with "SCI-FI CHANNEL" written on it. The network's second logo, which was used from 1999 to 2002, dropped the hyphen and the word "CHANNEL" from the name.[11]The network's third and final "ringed planet" logo ran from 2002 to 2009, and was designed byLambie-Nairn.The logo made its debut on December 2, 2002, with the launch of theSteven SpielbergminiseriesTaken.The network also launched a new image campaign with the tagline "If", which expresses the limitless possibilities of the imagination.Identification bumpsdepicted surreal situations such as a baby breathing fire, as well as a woman in a stately sitting room kissing a bug-eyed, big-eared animal.[12][13]

Syfy logo, 2009–2017

On March 16, 2009, NBCUniversal announced that Sci Fi was rebranding as "Syfy". Network officials also noted that, unlike the generic term "sci fi", which represents the entiregenre,the term "Syfy" as asensational spellingcan be protected bytrademarkand therefore would be easier to market on other goods or services without fear of confusion with other companies' products. The only significant previous use of the term "Syfy" in relation to science fiction was by the website SyFy Portal, which becameAirlock Alphaafter selling the brand to an unnamed company in February 2009.[14]

The name change was greeted with initial negativity,[15][16]with people deliberately mispronouncing "Syfy" as/ˈsɪfi/SIF-eeor/ˈsfi/SEE-feeto make fun of the name change. The parody news anchorStephen Colbertmade fun of the name change onThe Colbert Reportby giving the channel a "Tip of the Hat" for "spelling the name the way it's pronounced" and noting that "the tide is turning in my long fought battle against the insidious 'soft C'".[17][non-primary source needed]The new name took effect on July 7, 2009.[18]Syfy has since added reality shows and edged further from strictly science fiction, fantasy and horror programming.[19][20][21]

The rebranding efforts at NBC Universal'sSci Fi Channels worldwideresulted in most rebranding as "Syfy" or "Syfy Universal"; however, over one-third of the channels did not take on "Syfy" as any part of their names: channels in Japan and the Philippines rebranded to or were replaced byUniversal Channel,while each of the channels in Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia would become Sci Fi Universal. InPolish,"Syfy" does not suggest imagination or science fiction, but rather something gross, without value or evensyphilis.[22]In Australia, NBCUniversal was a partner inSFalongsideFoxtel,CBS Studios InternationalandSony Pictures Television;after the channel shut down in 2013, NBCUniversal launcheda local version of Syfyin 2014.[23][24]

On May 11, 2017, in honor of the network's upcoming 25th anniversary, Syfy unveiled a major rebranding that took effect on-air June 19. The new branding was intended to re-position the channel back towards targeting fans of the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Network head Chris McCumber explained that the network's goal was to "put fans at the center of everything we do", and explained a stacked, square-shaped form of the logo as being akin to a "badge". Syfy also planned to place a larger focus on its genre news division Syfy Wire, disclosing the possibility of extending the website to television as well.[25][26][27]
