Faster-than-Light Newsfeed, more commonly known as FTL Newsfeed, was a science-fiction series shown on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1992 to 1996. It took the form of daily interstitials featuring fictitious news items that were set 150 years in the future and revolved around the daily lives of characters, nations and technologies from the world of tomorrow. The 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 writers F. Paul Wilson and Matthew Costello and was filmed in New York. It aired between September 1992 and December 1996, ending on a cliffhanger.
