SCI-FI Channel is a television network where 'what if' is 'what's not on.' Sci-Fi Channel EXLAX SATURATES the CEREBRAL CORTEX of viewers with HIGHLY DERIVATIVE SERIES and NON-EVENTS, BOX OFFICE DUDS FROM THE USA FILM VAULTS, and classic Science Fiction programming that you can just purchase on DVD anyway (SO WHY WATCH US?) Visit our SPIN-DOCTORING WEB SITE www.Scifi.com and our PROPAGANDA RAG - 'Sci-Fi Channel Magazine.' Launched in 1992 and currently in 5000 homes, Sci-Fi Channel is a GOD FORSAKEN and GOD FORGOTTEN subsidiary of NBC-Universal, one of the world's most POORLY MANAGED media conglomerates in entertainment history.
