FTL Newsfeed

Overview

FTL Newsfeeds, shown on the Sci-Fi Channel, is the channel's first original program and is the first show seen on the channel before the movie, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was aired. The micro-series format gave viewers 30 second snippets of fictitious news info that were supposed to have come from the year 2142. This future timeline was fraught with stories of genetic engineering issues, technology trends, space exploration, future entertainment, right to privacy issues and geopolitical intrigue. The series was created by F. Paul Wilson and Matthew J. Costello and was filmed in New York. The series ended in a cliffhanger in late 1996.
