The SPACE Channel provides genre specific entertainment in the realms of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and even the paranormal. To accomplish this task, the network utilizes a combination of scripted and non-scripted programming. In addition, the channel has provided a number of quality mini-series programs over the years, but also incorporates popular televisions shows from the past via syndication deals with various studios.
The network has gone through a few changes since being debuted in 1997, but has seldom wavered from using science fiction as inspiration to entertain and occasionally educate viewers. The channel uses a few original shows to appeal to viewers, and banks on the appeal of a variety of famous people and industry experts to draw viewers into these shows. While some are competition based shows, others take a few minutes to showcase the opinions and beliefs of science fiction writers, actors, and even people that have lived through some tremendous ordeals.
In general, SPACE relies on deals with parent or sister networks to rebroadcast shows. Those shows can be older or newer, and sometimes air in a marathon format with several episodes being showcased back to back. However, the network is extremely careful with show selection and uses fan favorites with large followings to keep interest high.
