“What we love about this is we hopefully get the best of both worlds,” Mr. Howe said. “We’ll get the heritage and the track record of success, and we’ll build off of that to build a broader, more open and accessible and relatable and human-friendly brand.” (emphasis mine)
Said by one Dave Howe (http://www.tvweek.com/news/2009/03/sci_fi_channel_aims_to_shed_ge.php), president of the new (sissy) SyFy Network himself. This article (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/109034-Howe_Takes_Sci_Fi_Into_the_Future.php) says he's a casual fan (watched some Star Trek as a kid) who killed the sci-fi in pursuit of the young demographic. And is clearly still pursuing them by getting away from nerdy things like science fiction. MTV, here we come. :(
Oh, beautiful job on the layout. Had a look at your CSS. Nice. :)
