The Sci-Fi Channel becomes Syfy with their rebranding and redesign. TVWeek has a full write up on the (supposed) move away from geekdom here. As the science fiction genre continues to expand we have to wonder if the content supercedes the brand.
New York, NY - March 16, 2009 - By changing the name to Syfy, which remains phonetically identical, the new brand broadens perceptions and embraces a wider and more diverse range of imagination-based entertainment including fantasy, paranormal, reality, mystery, action and adventure, as well as science fiction … Imagine Greater will become the new brand message and tagline, inviting both consumers and advertisers into a new era of unlimited imagination, exceptional experiences and greater entertainment.

Interesting.
i dunno if i like this
are there any “geeky and proud of it” channels anymore?
i mean, maybe Chiller, but that’s stretching it…
WTF is this shit? Sci Fi Channel, you air Gundam 00. Do you really think you can ditch the “geek” label now?
Though I guess one would argue they’ve never been particularly nerdy. If they really were hardcore into science fiction they would be the “SF Channel.” /sarcasm
