Sci Fi Channel is changing its name to Syfy

It's a stupid name change.

That said, it is pretty rare for the Sci-Fi Network to show much of anything that Sci-Fi would want associated with it. And what little it does will be cut in half when BSG ends.

That said, while stupid there is a non-stupid (from a different perspective than fandom anyway) reason behind it. "Sci-Fi" is not trademarkable. "SyFy" is.
