Sci Fi Channel?

Chris Keall at NBR reports:

What I’m talking about is an actual William Shatner moment. 

Sky TV is bringing the Star Trek star to Auckland later this month.

I’m thinking the event must be the launch of the sci fi channel that unemployed Wellington man Pat Pilcher has pushed so hard for (and, earlier, Sky TV CEO John Fellet told NBR ONLINE a sci fi channel was number two on his list, after Soho).

If the speculation is correct, that would be great news. I will happily pay for the Sci Fi channel.
