New York, NY – October 13, 2009 – It was quite a week for Syfy. Propelled by Sanctuary, Stargate Universe and the Original Movie Megafault, Syfy was the #3 cable entertainment network in Adults 25-54, behind only USA and TBS, for the week ending October 11.
On Friday, October 9, at 10PM (ET/PT), Sanctuary’s second season premiere jumped 18% in Adults 18-49 (946,000) compared to last year’s season average, its second highest delivery in that demo ever.
At 9PM (ET/PT), Stargate Universe improved with double-digit growth in key demos over last week’s record setting premiere performance (the highest franchise premiere mark in four years), by growing 22% in Adults 18-49 (1.37 million) and 13% in Adults 25-54 (1.49 million) – the best Stargate showing in these demos in four years – while beating
FOX’s Dollhouse for the second straight week in total viewers and key demos.
Then on Saturday, October 10, from 9-11PM (ET/PT), Megafault, starring Brittany Murphy, Eriq LaSalle and Bruce Davison, posted the largest Syfy Original Movie audience since April 2007, drawing 2.5 million viewers and a 2.0 HH rating, while delivering 1.1 million A25-54 (highest in this demo since March) and 884,000 A18-49.
Megafault, a nail-biting thriller about a powerful earthquake that triggers a potentially catastrophic crack in the Earth’s crust, was the #1 cable movie in total day among Adults 25-54, driving Syfy into #2 for Saturday prime among all cable entertainment networks.
Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities. Originally launched in 1992 as SCI FI Channel, and currently in 95 million homes, Syfy is a network of NBC Universal, one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies. (Syfy. Imagine greater.)

September 6, 2010We were driving along, discussing Japanese eyelash salons, when Akemi brought up an example of someone with perfectly lush eyelashes. ”Do you know Barbie?”she asked me. Akemi has a habit of gauging my understanding of various matters by invariably asking “Do you know…?”. ”Do you know pumpkin pie?” or “Do you know Obama?” or “Do […]josephmallozzi
