The only schedule I posted was
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998-99_United_States_network_television_schedule
which was for network TV, not The Sci-Fi Channel.

Found this when I was looking just now:

List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sci_Fi_Channel_%28United_States%29_programs

and

Sci Fi Channel (United States)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci_Fi_Channel_%28United_States%29

...and under that check out:
*Non-science-fiction programming*
In 2006, Sci Fi began showing some non-sci-fi programming. These have
included:

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, shown on May 4, 2006[13]
WWE's Extreme Championship Wrestling, started June 13, 2006[14][15]
In the past, the network has also aired films, such as Braveheart, Cape
Fear, and Jaws which do not contain elements of science-fiction,
fantasy, or horror. Also, during Cartoon Quest, the animated series
Rambo and the Forces of Freedom, based on the Sylvester Stallone action
series about a Vietnam War veteran, aired.

ECW became the most popular program on the network by the summer of
2007.[16] Sci Fi has additionally aired the WWE flagship show Monday
Night Raw when the program's usual broadcaster USA Network broadcast the
U.S. Open tennis tournament over its usual Monday night timeslot.[17]
