Members JaneAusten Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 I am just curious if anyone knows the answer to this. With this whole internet channel concept relatively new, has anyone explored doing a sci fi internet channel or is there one that carries sci fi programming? I ask because sci fi fans in general seem to potentially be the most adaptable to this type of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 Sci-fi already has its own cable channel and Hulu offers a fairly wide array of sci-fi shows including most of the Syfy lineup so I think that's a case of the market already being served. No matter what, no one could ever argue that there isn't money to be made in that genre. The same can't be said of soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 I knew they had their own cable channel which seems to do fairly well with their target demo and sci fi fans while passionate about their shows, tend to be adaptable and forward thinking. I just was curious if they had any content specifically developed for online viewing only or does Hulu primarily carry the scifi shows already broadcast on television somewhere?

Members marceline Posted August 11, 2011 Members Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yes. But they seem to have a good relationship with a lot of sources. They also carry a decent amount of anime and manga (not my preferred genre) as well as a number of Korean sci-fi offerings. They let users suggest content and I sent a request that they add Spanish novelas with subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alexisfan07 Posted August 13, 2011 Members Share Posted August 13, 2011 Oh jesus. So we're losing it a week early, huh? Wow, I can't wait to see what they've got in store. They better get some cast announcements going...like now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 13, 2011 Members Share Posted August 13, 2011 OLTL is going to get screwed out of a finale. I'll be shocked if even half of their & 99% of AMC's cast continues on. I really don't think they'll get a chance to air on cable cause the online stuff is going to not help at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 We had never really heard anything about OLTL's finale plans anyway. Based on the stories over the last months, even before PP, there was little indication they were planning a big finale. OLTL could lost most of their cast and still continue on, as long as the right actors stay and they find some decent new characters (depending on budget). Why do you think the online thing will hurt their chances with cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Crap we are losing some ABC episodes that SUCKS a lot especially due to the Dec/Jan holidays and no new episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised, but I wonder if The The are really ready to go or not. We have barely heard a word about this Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Because AMC(IN MY OPINION) is going to lose about 98/99% of it's original cast. It won't be AMC, only in name only. I don't see LaLucci doing the online version. At best she might make drop in appearances every so often. OLTL might have better chance since I think some of the vets might stick around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
