Sci Fi Channel is changing its name to Syfy

Okay, I'll elaborate.

Star Wars is Science Fantasy. But Sci Fi has traditionally had a lot of overlap (fan-wise) with pure Fantasy (e.g., Lord of the Rings) as well as Horror. So I'm perfectly willing to let the Sci-Fi channel air Star Wars, sword & sorcery, and even the occasional horror flick.

Yes, pro-wrestling is 100% fabrication, but so are Hello Kitty cartoons and we don't see those on Sci-Fi.

Alex, I was not aware of the contractual obligations issue. That certainly sheds some light on the situation, ugly as it may be.

So Monty Python is behind the name change?
