While much of the original programming the SCI FI Channel has produced will remain on air through the next year, SurgeTV expects sweeping changes to the network, shifting away from the so-called “nerd” demographic. This means that SurgeTV will try to appeal to it’s growing number of “extreme” viewers by removing all of it’s current re-run programming and replacing it with a new “brand” - Xtreme Surge At Night.
