As someone who regularly survives the Most Dangerous Night on Television, I also wonder why the change. Is it all the Ghost Hunter BS or something to do with wrestling?
parsy, who likes Moonlight.

It’s part of the dumbing down of the U.S. - any spelling goes!

I just get tired of seeing people walk around with night vision cameras and I never see or hear anything that would convince me.

Yeah, but right before the commercial...they almost find something....so you wade thru dumb*ss commercials, and ....then one of the guys trips over his suitcase and it wasn’t a ghost that pushed him after all.
parsy, who has fallen for that so much he is embarrassed

They rebranded it SyFy because they found out you couldn’t trademark SciFi and they wanted to be able to protect themselves hijacking like the smut industry did when they labeled movies XXX. It’s a silly name they chose, but the exercise itself makes sense, especially as they branch out into book publishing and other external ventures. Having an unprotected trademark is dangerous stuff.

Neither Jason or Grant buy into “orbs” unless they do something *really* bizarre or inexplicable.
99% of the time, they discount them as dust or moisture in the air.

It's all about branding and only the brand.
Sadly, syfy is a brand that no one's going to want for a long time.
