This is supposedly coming in 2012 as an alternative to syfy or scifi or whatever they call that awful channel that I never, ever watch. A better name would have been XYZZY from the first ever computer adventure game The Colossal Cave.
From the website:
The Syzygy Network is a new cable television network just for SciFi and Fantasy fans. When we use the term SciFi we’re including Fantasy, remembering that the fantasies of our past are just as much a part our lives as the future. Classic SciFi movies and TV shows from our childhood reawaken the child inside us all. SciFi is what we do. New shows will mix with the old in this celebration of our mutual love of SciFi. Syzygy is SciFi.
We know who we are and we don’t plan to ever forget it.
What is Syzygy from wikipedia.
In broadest terms, syzygy (pronounced /ˈsɪzɨdʒi/) is a kind of unity, especially through coordination or alignment, most commonly used in the astronomical and/or astrological sense.[1] Syzygy is derived from the Late Latin syzygia, “conjunction,” from the Greek σύζυγος (syzygos).

I like Space TV but they need competition. The only gripes I have with Space is they include horror. Yes its speculative fiction I know, but horror?
