Syfy was a Latin American channel dedicated to science fiction and fantasy programming, owned by NBCUniversal International Networks, a division of NBCUniversal. The local version of the channel, available both in Spanish- and Portuguese-language feeds (for Spanish-speaking countries and for Brazil, respectively), was launched in 2007. Until October 10, 2010,[2] Syfy was known as Sci Fi.
The Brazilian feed of the channel, as well as its sister network, Studio Universal, is operated since mid-July 2012 by the joint venture between Universal Networks International and Grupo Globo-owned Canais Globo which already operated the Brazilian version of Universal TV.[3]
The channel closed on October 1, 2023 and was replaced by USA Network after 19 years of absence in Latin America.[1]
