[edit] Shows

Sci Fi currently airs re-runs such as: Medium, Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Charmed. It has also had the first Australian run of shows such as Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, Eureka, Demons, Stargate Universe, and Ghost Hunters International.

[edit] History

When Sci Fi went live at 6am on 1 December 2006, a software glitch related to the launch caused the entire Foxtel service to go offline for up to six hours nationwide.[1] Sci Fi uses the same branding and packaging as the US channel of the same name but has its own schedule and programming. It airs popular shows such as The X-Files, Buffy, Charmed, the original and reimagined Battlestar Galactica series, Medium, and the Star Trek and Stargate franchises.

Sci Fi switched broadcasting from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio on 1 December 2008.[2] Sci Fi +2 will go to air on 15 November 2009.

[edit] Press coverage

On 22 November 2006, the Adelaide Advertiser reported about the demand for a science-fiction–themed TV channel in Australia[3].

The official launch party of the Sci Fi Channel was held on 16 November 2006 at the Australian Museum in Sydney. Guests included Jacqueline McKenzie (from The 4400), Gigi Edgley and Matthew Newton (from Farscape).

[edit] Media

In addition to subscription television, Sci Fi Channel Australia also operates the Sci Fi Australia website[4], where viewers can access television guides as well as video extras, full episodes, and the Sci Fi Pi blog.
