From here:
Effective November 1, 2006, the SCI FI Channel will change their name to SurgeTV, to reflect the changing demographic thrust of the successful long-running cable channel. In addition, deals are currently working out to bring back ECW for a three-times a week run in prime time, as well as reruns (Pre-WWE) of professional wrestling events.Away from the "nerd" demographic? But where will we geeks go? We've been cast out like little match girls, without the nerdery we love! Don't they realize that they filled a demographic hole? There are enough channels dedicated to wrestling. We don't need one more! Now I get why they're making Harry Dresden a hockey fan. *glowers* And no "re-run" programming? I couldn't care less if they stopped airing Firefly reruns, but what about shows like Doctor Who, for which Sci-Fi provides the first run for fans in the US? If they discontinue this practice, there will be words exchanged. And in typical Mal-style, certain bullets. Also? Your new name would be more befitting a gay porn channel. Just saying. Edit: Aaaaaand it was a hoax! We nerds can breathe a collective sigh of relief. :D Priscilla said at 10:13 AM Comments:
