Sci Fi Channel?

at NBR reports:

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

TV is bringing the star to Auckland later month.

I'm thinking the event must be the launch of the sci fi channel that unemployed Wellington man 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.
