Meaning "The Sci-Fi Channel" (US)?  Probably not.  It'll just be showing
very little sci-fi, ...even less than now.

Naah, they like to see us miserable and poke fun at us.  ;-)

Hope a new Sci-Fi Channel would emerge that could at least play the
good, old stuff (real 50's and 60's B-movies, creature features, B5,
Trek, Twilight Zone, etc.), plus some older horror TV and movies.
Unfortunately, there are too few of us, i.e. sci-fi isn't popular and
the ratings aren't there to support the cost of sci-fi on TV.  "American
Idol" is popular.  Wipes out everything in its path.  Go figure.
