It's not a secret that viewership is turning more and more away from traditional live broadcasts on television. But that's not always considered when deciding the fate of a show. And an advocacy group fighting for the continuation of "Warehouse 13" wants to make sure Syfy knows there is more than ...

There's something to be said when a network or cable channel is willing to spend an obscene amount of money on a television show. And that something is usually: "Uh oh, don't expect it to last long." Genre fans got their taste of that in the 1960s with the original "Star Trek," and it carried on ...

If you asked me a couple years ago if I would ever write a column like this, I would at least hesitate. But I am the kind of person who gives credit where credit is due. And when it comes to Michael Engleman, his recent promotion to executive vice president of marketing and global brand strategy ...

Syfy has gone through a tremendous change over the last few years, the least of which includes the actual name of the channel. And, throughout 2011, more changes and expansive programming will be seen … including some taking place behind the scenes. Mark Stern -- who has shepherded in some o ...

Learning that "Caprica" got the ax Wednesday from Syfy was heartbreaking for me, as someone who counts "Battlestar Galactica" as one of the greatest television series of all times, and "Caprica" a solid foll ...

The audiences for "Caprica" and "Stargate: Universe" are hardly stellar, but they're not automatic death warrants either. At least that was the message being conveyed by Syfy's top decision-makers to kick off the Fall 2010 press tour in Orlando, Fla. Sunday evening. Syfy president Dave Howe w ...

After all the cross-country trips I have had to make over the years to places like Vancouver, San Diego and Seattle, you know what? It's about darn time that Syfy brings itself to me. I was just thinking that about a month ago when Syfy contacted me and told me they had read my mind, and were goi ...
