Syfy Plans Live Three-Night Broadcast from Comic-Con

NEW YORK: Gearing up for San Diego Comic-Con this summer, Syfy will go live for three nights directly from the heart of the pop-culture convention.

Syfy Presents Live from Comic-Con will kick off on Thursday, July 21, and run through Saturday, July 23, at 8 p.m. Each night, Syfy will air live from the convention with celebrity interviews, breaking news and behind-the-scenes reports. The hosted live broadcast will highlight the biggest stars, top franchise reveals, panel news, exclusive sneak peeks of the hottest films, as well as audience interaction, games, party coverage and more.

In addition, starting Sunday, July 17, Syfy will kick off a Comic-Con celebration on-air, online and across its social media platforms, offering fans customized, exclusive content to fuel their excitement throughout the entire week. Syfy’s 7 Days of Comic-Con will start Sunday, July 17, and continue through July 23.

“For nearly two decades, Syfy has been a mainstay at Comic-Con,” said Chris McCumber, the president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “Each and every year, we can’t wait to get to San Diego to share our mutual fandom and passion for all things pop culture with our viewers. And this year, we’re thrilled to extend that immediate, first-hand access to those at home as well.”

“Our goal with Syfy Presents Live from Comic-Con is to give everyone the experience of being on the convention floor, at the events, or just walking through the frenzied streets of the Gaslamp District … with hundreds of thousands of their closest friends,” said Heather Olander, the senior VP of alternative series, development and production at Syfy.
