Syfy second-run programming

Syfy has a long history of buying the rights to air second-run or repeat programming of series no longer in production.

Current programs

Past programs

Many of these used to be aired frequently on S.C.I.F.I. World, a daytime programming schedule started on July 17, 2000, that divided its marathons between five days that concentrated on five particular themes:

  • Superheroland
  • Creatureland
  • Intergalacticland
  • Fantasticland
  • Inhumanland

This format of airing marathons has continued in some form to this day.

Other second-run programming

Syfy Miniseries

Syfy original films

Anime shown on Syfy

The Saturday Anime logo as it appeared on the Sci Fi Channel website, circa the late 1990s.

For most of the 1990s, Syfy showed anime films, although they had to be edited in order to be shown on basic cable. The channel's longest running animation block, referred to as Saturday Anime, aired at the start of the channel's broadcast day each Saturday morning. In 2007, Syfy reintroduced anime to their programming via the "Ani-Monday" block. In 2008 the block was shifted to Tuesday; in 2010, to Thursday; and after June 9, 2011, disappeared abruptly, along with the Anime section of the Syfy.com website.[24][25]
