      SCIFIWIRE.COM LAUNCHES AS STAND ALONE NEWS SITE
      Published: January 5, 2009

      Successful Website to be a Source for Breaking News


      NEW YORK – January 5, 2009 – SCI FI Channel's SCIFI.com, the world's most heavily-trafficked genre Web site, will spin off its popular daily entertainment news service into a new stand alone site at SCIFIWIRE.COM, it was announced today by Craig Engler, Senior Vice President of SCI FI.com and SCI FI Magazine. SCI FI Wire is the premiere source for fast-breaking entertainment news related to science fiction, fantasy and horror on topics ranging from TV and movies to books and games. Rapid growth in traffic and ad sales propelled the relaunch SCI FI Wire as its own site, which will include a new logo and redesigned homepage.

      "The SCI FI audience is passionate about technology, gaming and entertainment, so those three affinity areas were the natural places to expand our brand," said Craig Engler in making the announcement. "All three have been tremendously successful for us both in terms of audience and ad sales, and we expect Dvice.com, Fidgit.com and the newly launched Scifiwire.com to thrive in 2009."

      SCI FI Wire is the third new site launched by SCI FI in the past year and continues the brand's expansion strategy into the areas of technology, entertainment and gaming. In November 2007, SCI FI unveiled the technology site DVICE.COM, which has since become a Top 100 blog with nearly 700,000 unique visitors each month. In 2008, SCI FI also launched the game site FIDGIT.com and its popular Game Center, which features casual games based on SCI FI properties that link registered players together using social networking features.

      Launch week exclusives to include:

      A sneak peek from the critically acclaimed drama series Battlestar Galactica, returning January 16.

      Interviews with the cast of the new hit television series Fringe.

      A first look at Caprica, the anxiously awaited prequel to Battlestar Galactica, featuring Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Paula Malcomson and Golden Globe winner Polly Walker.

      Viewers can watch a clip from the new original dramedy series Warehouse 13, coming to the Channel this summer and starring Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly and Saul Rubinek.

      Breaking news about the upcoming series Dollhouse and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

      As the two-part season finale of Sanctuary approaches, fans will be treated to a preview to see whether Dr. Magnus (Amanda Tapping) and her crew can stave off the Cabal before they unleash a plague onto the entire abnormal community.

      Launched in 1997, SCI FI Wire started with a few news updates and then grew into a stand-alone sub-section featuring original content. It now has nearly half a million readers and serves millions of page views each month.

      SCIFI.COM is the world's largest sci-fi entertainment Web site with more than 3.5 million unique visitors each month. Its award-winning original content ranges from a daily entertainment news service, SCI FI Wire, to full episodes of hit TV shows like Battlestar Galactica and Ghost Hunters.

      SCI FI Channel is a television network where "what if" is what's on. SCI FI fuels the imagination of viewers with original series and events, blockbuster movies and classic science fiction and fantasy programming, as well as a dynamic Web site (www.scifi.com ) and magazine.

          Since I have enjoyed BSG so much, I'll give Caprica a go. I really don't think it will be as good though.

            I can't understand SciFi channel how could they order Caprica season 1 without the airing of pilot.... It is a very strange decision...

            There were some short scenes from the show on scifi.com. I won't say I hate it, but it didn't grabbed my heart either. Greek mythology OK. Robot technology OK. But where are the cylons, space adventure, exiting discoveries? So maybe Caprica will be the new space-Dallas with A.I. feeling, but it almost doesn't bind to BSG at all with anything.

              given the fact, that Caprica series takes place 10 years before the first war, it's obvious we won't see any skinjob from BSG.

                Ok, I knew this. But how can they fill a complete season with the "war" between the two family?

                My biggest problem is whatever promo scene I watched I reminded to "they will be bombarded and killed"...

Enmeshed in the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence and robotics that will eventually lead to the creation of the Cylons, the two houses go toe-to-toe blending action with corporate conspiracy and sexual politics.

                        With any luck, the R2 release won't be far behind.

                        But can someone please explain this unrated thing to me...?

                        I know Razor was 'unrated' yet here in the UK, it DOES have a rating, and it's a 15. I heard in another thread that when the Stargate movies were "unrated" one of the users (a mother) was concerned, because unrated usually means pornographic material (her words, not mine). So could someone please explain this?

                        Cheers.

                            Apparently in the US direct-to-DVD films or made for TV films are often released unrated. In the US this is legal because the MPAA is not a legal authority. In the UK, it's illegal to release anything that isn't BBFC rated unless it is marked as exempt.

                                Battlestar Prequel Caprica Will Debut on DVD
                                Feb 6, 2009 11:12 PM ET

                                Now this is peculiar. Caprica's two-hour pilot/TV movie will debut on DVD on April 21.

                                That's at least eight months before the Battlestar Galactica prequel begins its 22-episode run on the Sci Fi Channel. Just last month, in fact, BSG producers Ron Moore and David Eick confirmed to TVGuide.com's Nerd High Priestess Erin Fox that Caprica wouldn't premiere on the Sci Fi Channel until 2010.
