Science Channel has signed a multi-year talent and content deal with
theoretical physicist and science television commentator Dr. Michio Kaku.

Under the two-part deal,
Science Channel will exclusively produce original series and specials based on
Dr. Kaku's work, including a 10-part series based on his best-selling book Physics
of the Impossible. In addition,
Dr. Kaku will serve as weekly host of the network's SCI Q Sunday nights, featuring future-forward science topics
from around the world. Dr. Kaku will also answer questions and host online

physics, including as the co-founder of string field theory, Dr. Kaku is also
an exceptional communicator who can make the most complex science theory or
topic fun. He has a joy for all things science and his enthusiasm is
infectious."
