Oh yes, I remember, and what’s even funnier is it was TNN (The Nashville Network) or something else not sci-fi related before that.
The network did not invent science fiction, so they had nothing to defend, and when they changed it to Syfy, no one was trying to take that name, either — and the quality plummeted after that. Probably because “well we’re no longer the Sci-Fi channel so here’s a bunch of reality TV.”
Then again, I’m also mad that most rock radio stations went away. We talk about AI slop, but the slop has been there for a while. It’s just, people used to make slop to satiate the masses. They still do, but now they use AI to do it, too. And it’s not AI’s fault, per se. The slop was always here.
