Syfy (formerly Sci Fi Channel) is a television channel service specialising in science fiction, fantasy and horror shows and movies. It is available via digital cable, IPTV and satellite television platforms. The channel launched in 1995 in the UK a sister channel to the US Sci Fi Channel (now Syfy), with a similar programming line-up. Syfy currently operates as a channel service of Universal Networks International, a division of NBCUniversal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Universal Networks International )〕 On 13 April 2010, Sci Fi Channel relaunched as Syfy, as part of an ongoing global rebranding. The relaunch was accompanied by the premieres of ''V'' and ''Human Target''. The channel was given a new on-air look and a tagline of ''Imagine Greater''. == Programming == Programming in the channel's early years followed the US channel's model, then consisting largely of archive shows such as ''Lost in Space'', ''The Incredible Hulk'', ''Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'', and films from the Paramount and MCA vaults. The channel was also notable for being one of the first UK television channels to show anime movies and television series on a regular basis. These programming choices were supplemented by a few 1980s animated series shown in the mornings such as ''Robotech'', ''Bionic Six'' and ''G-Force'', although they were dropped as the channel's lineup became more independent of the original US channel. Currently, most archive and anime programming have been phased out of the channel, which now concentrates on contemporary show, movies, and other programming. One original UK production was the late-night show ''Headf * *k'', which featured excerpts from unusual TV shows, short films (including ''Chris Barfoot'' 'Phoenix' and 'The Reckoning') and music videos from around the world. Later episodes were presented by David Icke. Programmes on the channel throughout more recent times have included UK premieres of big name US shows like ''Heroes'', ''Flash Gordon'', ''Eureka'', and more recently ''Knight Rider'', ''Legend of the Seeker'' and Joss Whedon's ''Dollhouse''. Also shown as of February 2007 are digitally remastered episodes of ''Star Trek'' (not to be confused with the remastered series with new CGI); in October the channel secured an exclusive deal with CBS to air ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' episodes, remastered from original film elements to current HD standards with new HD CGI sequences, and as of November 2012 have been broadcasting them in (mostly) chronological order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Syfy (UK and Ireland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
