Sci Fi Targets Late Night
Network hopes toons will get younger viewers tuning in
By Anne Becker -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/7/2007
In an attempt to lure younger viewers and expand the reach of its brand, Sci Fi Channel is launching Ani-Monday, a two-hour late-night block of anime programming. Set to premiere June 11, the slate will put the network in direct competition with Cartoon Network's late-night ratings powerhouse Adult Swim, which programs anime as well.
Running from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., the block will include acquired series, movies and shorts.
The content comes from Manga, one of three major U.S. anime distributors and a unit of Starz Media, which produces Sci Fi's live-action original Painkiller Jane, among other network shows.
