Syfy, a division of NBC Universal Cable, was launched in September 1992. More than a decade later, Syfy continues to attract industry-wide interest in its achievements, most recently winning an Emmy for its history-making Steven Spielberg Presents TAKEN - the biggest miniseries ever on television. In the last few years, the Channel has undergone a massive re-design and become one of cable's leaders in the production of high-quality original programming.

With major investment from its parent company and notable programming successes, Syfy continues to generate buzz among advertisers, affiliates and consumers.
