SCI FI Channel Renews Series

NEW YORK, September 28: SCI FI Channel has greenlit
production on a third season of 13 hours of its original dramedy Eureka, and has also renewed its investigative reality
series Destination Truth for a second
season of six episodes.

Production will begin on a third season of Eureka in Vancouver early next year for a summer 2008
premiere. The second season of Destination Truth is also slated to premiere in 2008.

The series premiere of Eureka on July 18, 2006 remains the highest- rated series telecast in SCI FI
history. Eureka was also credited
with bringing in more than 3 million new viewers to the channel in its second
season alone. In the series, Eureka seems like any other cozy Pacific Northwest
town, but is actually a secret community of geniuses assembled by the
government to conduct top-secret research. Returning for a third season are
stars Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson and Ed Quinn
and executive producers Jaime Paglia and Charlie Craig. Eureka is produced and distributed by Universal Media
Studios.

Destination Truth
brought in more than 1 million new viewers over its 6-week run last summer. The
series premiere in June 2007 was the highest-rated premiere for an alternative
reality series on SCI FI since the debut of Ghost Hunters in 2004. In the second season of Destination
Truth
, adventurer and truth-seeker Josh
Gates will once again take viewers off the map in his search for answers to
some of the world's most notorious unexplained mysteries. This season Destination
Truth
will be executive produced by Brad
Kuhlman (1000 Places to See Before You Die, Daisy Does America, FM
Nation
).

"Eureka rose to
an even higher creative level in its sophomore season, combining entertaining,
compelling stories with deeper character development and great cast chemistry,”
said Mark Stern, SCI FI Channel's executive VP of original programming. “And
clearly the audience noticed, bringing millions of new viewers to the channel. Destination
Truth
with Josh Gates proved to be a great
addition to our Wednesday night lineup and the perfect companion piece for Ghost
Hunters
